A very animated Bill Streeter doing his fabulous raptor talk.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, this post is a couple days late, but certainly worth posting. Sunday evening, Tricia and I went to the Bashakill Vineyards<\/a> where we met up with Karen Miller to attend the Basha Kill Area Association annual Benefit. This year’s event was really great – well attended, and the brick oven pizza, wine, and hors d’oeuvres provided by members of the BKAA were all delicious.<\/p>\n

Bill Streeter from the Delaware Raptor Center<\/a> did his live raptor talk which included a Peregrine Falcon, a Red-tailed Hawk, a Northern Saw-whet Owl, a Snowy Owl, and a magnificent Golden Eagle. The talk was very entertaining and informative.<\/p>\n

For me, the highlight of the event was John Haas having his book signing for the release of his book “A Birding Guide to Sullivan County New York”. The book was for sale and John was, of course, signing copies. If you are a birder in this area or if you are just interested in great spots to hike, kayak, or just see nature you have to get this book. It is available at the Bashakill Vineyards and also at the Basha Kill Area Association<\/a> website. This book will make you a better birder I guarantee it, AND<\/strong> all proceeds from the book are being donated to the Basha Kill Area Association. You can’t lose!<\/p>\n
