Saturday, August 13 at 11:00 amCome and learn about some of Cape Cod’s fine feathered friends! The
Massachusetts Audubon Society talks to our audience about coastal water birds. Each year the staff of the Society’s
Coastal Water Bird Program covers the coasts of Cape Cod in search of terns, endangered Piping Plovers, Oystercatchers, and their relatives. They record every detail from the birds’ arrival to courtship, nesting, and fledging chicks. Their work includes helping protect these delicate populations from human disturbance and wild predators. A great presentation for summer beachgoers, d
iscover how beachgoers and birds can coexist and how these diminutive creatures, with their camouflaged nests, survive the windswept conditions of Cape Cod’s exposed beaches.
Friday, August 5 at 11:00 amLocal authors Elaine and Karin Tammi take our audience through the process, using their new cookbook Scallops: A New England Coastal Cookbook as an example. During the creation of their book, they received encouragement from Julia Child, who wrote, “You have done a wonderful bit of research and it should be known. It’s just a matter of getting it to the right people.” The authors obtained recipes from celebrity chefs and scallop fishermen, and they interviewed scientists. They will review concept, text, and selection of images. Large photographs from their cookbook will be shown. Afterwards, feel free to ask questions. Their cookbook will be available for sale and signing.
