"Ms Somers, a field biologist for DNREC, Division of Parks & Recreation, will address various aspects "+
"of the Division of Parks and Recreation's management of "+
"the Pea Patch Island heronry, including historical and current population estimates, an update "+

"mammal control.",
"Clear and reflective sheet glass poses an invisible threat to wild birds worldwide. Indiscriminant "+
"killers, windows claim species from the most abundant to the rare, threatened, and endangered. Sheet "+
"glass appears to be a growing source of avian mortality and a suspected contributor to overall bird "+
"population declines. Preventing these unintended fatalities requires education in preventive techniques, "+
"regulation of the installation of glass in buildings, and enforcement of existing legislation to protect "+
"wild birds.
Dr. Klem is The Sarkis Acopian Professor of Ornithology and Conservation Biology in the department of Biology, "+
"Muhlenberg College. He has been studying sheet glass as an avian mortality factor and avian conservation "+
"issue for over 30 years, and currently, "+
"with the help of recent media publicity hopes to markedly enhance the effectiveness of his efforts to "+
"save more bird lives and further help protect birds in general as a valuable natural resource the world "+
"over. He believes he has validated evidence to document sheet glass as the single greatest killer of wild "+
"birds with the one self-evident exception of habitat destruction, and he looks forward to sharing his reasons "+
"and responding to your questions about this important conservation issue for birds and humans.",
"Greg will trace the historical origins of birding and ornithology in Delaware and comment on what " +
"historical records reveal about Delaware bird life in earlier times." +
"
Greg has been birding since 1959, when he was 7 years old. He currently serves on the Board of " +
"Directors of the Delaware Nature Society and the Board of Trustees of the Delaware Museum " +
"of Natural History. In addition, he assisted with legal issues surrounding the writing and " +
"publication of Birds of Delaware, and is an ccasional contributor to Delmarva Ornithologist."
