 Date: Jan. 3 Time 7:30 p. m. Topic: Acorn Woodpecker Lifestyle Presenter: Ruth Troetschler Location: Math-Science Nucleus Have you ever wondered about those noisy, colorful woodpeckers that live in our oak woodland? Why are they so common? Do they eat anything other than acorns? Why do they sometimes make holes in our houses? How can we prevent that damage while still protecting the birds? Ruth Troetschler holds a masters degree in biological science, and has studied Acorn Woodpeckers for seven years. She will answer all these questions, as well as give us tips on the relationship of oaks to the protection of this colorful species in a presentation with illustrations and sound. We will meet in the Children's Natural History Museum. Come a little early and check out the exhibits—the Wes Gordon Fossil Museum, the Miller Planetarium, mineral and animal collections, and the Hall of Small Wonders. The museum is managed by the Math Science Nucleus (http://msnucleus.org.) It is located on the corner of Fremont Blvd. and Eggers Drive, about 1/2 mile north of Mowry Ave, across the street from Washington High School.in central Fremont. —PAG Bring a cup to enjoy beverages after meetings. |
