Forsythia and daffodils proclaim spring is here. Yay! Birds are starting to move through, too. Yay again! I imagine you are as happy as I am to put the cold behind us. Let’s hope we have a real spring and that we don’t jump immediately to summer.

Our April 13 regular meeting will include elections, brief reports, and a program titled  Conservation of the Eastern Bluebird by members Lynn and Dorian Runt. The meeting starts at 7 PM at St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church (off Route 997, near Scotland exit off I-81) 2695 Luther Dr, Chambersburg, PA 17202. Please join us in person or via Zoom. We welcome everyone. The next planning session for the Beginning Birders’ Workshop (June 6) will occur before this meeting, so come at 6:15 to participate in that.

We continue to seek a volunteer to become Vice President. Please contact me to offer your services. There are always new opportunities to represent CAS at community events, so if you are interested, please contact our Outreach chair, Terri Kochert. Many thanks to Leslie Cerf for agreeing to lead the nature film crew.

Thanks to all who have made a donation. If you would like to, please send your check to Conococheague Audubon Society, PO Box 20, Fayetteville, PA 17222. Good birding!
