Birder-Photographer to Speak at Seaway Trail Discovery Center Quilt Show March 15-16
The grasslands of Eve Sweatman’s 200 acres near Chaumont, NY, provides the opportunity to photograph warblers, towhees, juncos, jays, and finches. But it is the globally rare clay-colored sparrow that sits at the top of Sweatman’s life-long birding list. Sweatman will talk about her experiences as a birder and member and president of the North Country Bird Club, and will share tips for attracting wild birds to your backyard as part of the Feathers & Fowl: Birds of the Great Lakes Quilt Show March 15-16 in Sackets Harbor.
Sweatman will speak each day at 1 pm at the Seaway Trail Discovery Center amidst the quilts and wallhangings showing the diverse bird species that frequent the 518-mile-long Americas Byway that parallels the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River and Lake Erie.
Sweatman, who recently had a photograph win Best in Show contest honors from Dutch Gardens, will talk about feeding and housing for wild birds. The contest prize is her choice of $1,100 in garden plants. You can be sure she will be selecting varieties that are popular with hummingbirds.
The Saturday-Sunday 10 am to 5 pm Birds of the Seaway Trail Quilt Show kicks off a spring-through-fall series of avian-themed programs at the Seaway Trail Discovery Center and other locations along the byway. “Mr. Bluebird” John Rogers is set to speak on April 5.
