The Lancaster County Bird Club (LCBC) will meet on Thursday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens.

Emmy Casper, a wildlife biologist with Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, will present "Monitoring American Oystercatchers on the Delaware Bay." Breeding populations of American oystercatchers have been heavily monitored on New Jersey's ocean beaches since 2003, but for years little was known about the oystercatchers nesting along the state's Delaware Bay beaches. Casper will speak about how biologists from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, the Wetlands Institute, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service are working together on a new project to unravel the mysteries of the oystercatchers. Casper will share stories from the field and discuss how on-the-ground monitoring, trail cameras, and bird banding are all being used.

The program is free of charge. For more information, call 717-891-8145 or 717-725-2717. Information about the LCBC is available at http://www.lancasterbirdclub.org, http://www.facebook.com/lancasterbirdclub, and http://www.instagram.com/lancasterbirdclub.
