Interesting. It doesn't say what it is made of therefor I wonder what prevents the squirrel from chewing a hole in it. The raccoons would still just take it apart! ... See MoreSee Less

Please join Middlefork Audubon in welcoming Tom Marriage, nature photographer, on Thursday, February 28th, 7PM at the Danville Public Library as he brings us an entertaining and informative program on the birds of Heron Park located at the north end of Lake Vermilion in Danville, Illinois. He will briefly discuss his photography methods followed by a program through his lovely bird images. He will also share his observations of the changes that have taken place in Lake Vermilion over time. With the upcoming dam repair and lake draw down this year this should be an interesting topic. Refreshments will be served after the program.
A little background on Tom Marriage:
The purchase of an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic in Japan while in the Navy began a lifelong love of photography. Over the years the journey continued with many ventures into different genres of photography…Wedding, Portrait, Events, Photojournalism, and Sports. The experiences were always part-time while continuing to work full-time. It was a hobby gone totally out of control. For almost five decades, shooting everything from large format, medium format, 35mm to digital, the enjoyment and love of photography continues. Except for documenting the lives of grandchildren and family the focus now is nature and wildlife and especially bird photography. Still working full-time I am a weekend warrior chasing the elusive bird and still hoping to get “The Shot”. ... See MoreSee Less

We are going to try to do things a little different this year. Instead of speakers and programs we are going to schedule visits to our county parks. We would love for experts in natural fields to join us on these trips and show us some of the floral and fauna we can enjoy in our area. Also, we are moving our gatherings from Thursday nights to Saturdays (stay tuned for where & when for each one). We would like these explorations to include families and community members, so please invite anyone you think may be interested. Please contact us with any ideas and suggestions and please share this notice so it reaches many members of our community. ... See MoreSee Less
