Jerrabomberra Wetlands Open Day

["Canberra Ornithologists Group Inc." <>]

COG had a display at the Wetlands Open Day, held today (Sunday) on a warm
and breezy day. Quite a few people stopped by, at least one person joined
up on the spot (several other people took membership forms away), and
many more promised to check out our website for more
information.  
A list of birds seen at the wetlands in past
5 years had been prepared as a handout, and a gold star goes to very new
COG member Dugald Maxwell, who added a new species to the site list. While
on a guided walk with ranger Michael, Dugald spotted a well-hidden Eastern
Barn Owl in a tree between Cygnus hide and the wetlands offices. A record
has now been added to the database, and several of us wandered up and had
a good look at this beautiful bird.
Thanks to Chris D., and member
Maree P., who helped Lia and I with set-up of the COG tent.
