Colder nights have settled in and our winter visitors are here. Juncos flit around under the shrubs and feeders. Brown Creepers hug the tree trunks. Can our first snowfall be far off? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you haven\u2019t already, do stop by the Festival of Trees at the Franklin County Visitors Center on the square in Chambersburg. Our white birch tree is really lovely, as are many other trees and wreaths. The Festival ends Saturday, December 2, so time is running out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening reception for the sale of Jim and Deb Wheeling\u2019s collection of bird prints went well last Saturday. The collection will be available at Wallspace Gallery and Framing through January. You can view the collection online at Wallspace.com<\/a>. The catalog is accessible from the homepage or under Exhibits | Current Exhibit. The shop is at 1769 Lincoln Way East, Chambersburg, PA 17202. Regular hours: Tues-Fri 10-4:30, Sat 10-2. Other times by appointment, 717-264-7210. The prices are really reasonable; at least 22 of the 140+ prints have already been sold. When I was there earlier this week, there were still some framed prints on the walls upstairs at the gallery. Remember that the proceeds are all being donated to Conococheague Audubon Society.\u00a0 Our regular meeting program at 7 PM on December 11 is Project Snowstorm<\/i>, by Steve Huy. Project SNOWstorm uses innovative science to understand snowy owls. The program will be available in person at St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church or via Zoom<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Visit the calendar <\/a>on this site to see other upcoming activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for your support for Conococheague Audubon and the birds! If you haven\u2019t mailed in a donation yet, it\u2019s never too late. Please make out your check to Conococheague Audubon and mail to CAS, PO Box 20, Fayetteville, PA 17222. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take care, stay warm, and good birding!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colder nights have settled in and our winter visitors are here.
