Dr. Angelika Nelson will present about Hog Island in her talk, "Escape to
the Island".



Do you ever dream about going to summer camp again? And combining this with
your passion for bird-watching? Hog Island in Maine is the place to go!

Since 1936, birding and environmental education sessions have inspired
thousands of campers to become better stewards of their environment and
share their love for nature.

The camp sessions vary in focus from Joy of Birding, Field Ornithology, and
Raptor Rapture to Arts and Birding.

You may have heard of Hog Island in connection with the successful seabird
restoration program  <http://projectpuffin.audubon.org/> Project Puffin.
Steve Kress raised the first translocated pufflings right on the island
before releasing them to the nearby island of Eastern Egg rock.

Join us for a visual and aural escape to the island, learn about being a
summer camper as an adult, and seabird restoration. You may leave as a
friend of Hog Island.

Dr Angelika Nelson is the curator of the  <https://blb.osu.edu/> Borror
