New Migratory Bird Display at Linnie Park

CJ, January 18th 2010 | Posted in All Posts, Happenings

"MIGRATORY BIRDS OF THE VENICE CANALS" DISPLAY INSTALLED AT LINNIE PARK ...

The Venice Canals Association just completed and installed a beautiful educational display board depicting our regular visiting migratory birds. Installed on the back of the Linnie Canal Park bulletin board, it is designed for both kids and adults to use in helping to identify our various species.

Thanks goes to Nadine Parkos for spearheading the idea and installing it (with the help of Irv Puskin) last weekend. CJ Cole did the design and artwork. We hope you will all take the opportunity to stop by the park and take a look.
