ANNUAL BIRD SEED SALE!

It's time to get ready to feed the birds! The season is changing quickly, and soon our feathered friends will have a harder time trying to find the fuel to keep them going all winter. Why not help them out, while also supporting your local York Audubon Society with their main fund raising event of the year. Please consider purchasing form our annual bird seed sale. Maybe you will even be the lucky winner of a new pair of binoculars! See the details in the order form by clicking below.

Please note - Due to recent difficult weather conditions in the western U.S. during seed harvest season, the price of seed is expected to go up in our local stores this winter. Why not stock up now!

An alert from YAS member Tom Simmons:  Gander Outdoors located at the West Manchester Town Center (behind Walmart) has reduced their inventory due to store closure.  The store does carry binoculars as well as outdoor gear and accessories.  Tom picked up a pair of $100 hiking boots for $30 and noticed a nice portable bird blind for $50.   Just wanted to share with other birders about the deals.

Our November 19 meeting featured the very talented photographer Bob Anderhalt (right), show here with York Audubon vice-president Andrew Wolfgang. Bob narrowed over 17,000 pictures down to his 100 best in order to present "The Birds of Magee Marsh". The photographers in the audience were enlightened on some of the techniques used to shoot the pictures, while the bird lovers were just "wowed" by the gorgeous photos. Thanks Bob for a great evening!
