The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club

Tuesday, September 12

6 pm - 7:30 pm

Ballroom

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club will resume their monthly meetings starting on Tuesday, September 12th at 6:00 PM with a HANDS-ON opener featuring LIVE SNAKES of many different kinds!! Learn to overcome your fears in a safe, controlled environment with one of the Fox Valley's most accomplished snake handlers.

Guest speakers Steve Keller, Carl Hogue and their team—all part of “The Traveling Snake Show” hope to change your fear of snakes to COMPLETE fascination. Presenting only non-poisonous specimens one at a time, Steve will give an explanation of their eating habits, habitat, and other interesting facts like how they have been rescued or adopted and how they came to be part of the traveling show.

"There's a lot of people out there that aren't afraid of (snakes) anymore because they met me." Keller likes to have fun and has a laid-back demeanor, but he’s serious about his message. He calls snakes the world’s most misunderstood creatures and wants to change that perception.

The snake show started when Steve and his son Ben were in Cub Scouts and brought their pet snake to a meeting, then later to a “lock-in” and soon after that, Steve decided to expand and offer the rescue of snakes and doing educational shows—now over 20 years and going strong. Carl started when he was Cub Master of son’s pack. At the first Pack Meeting, Steve and his snakes were booked as the event. Carl was afraid of snakes at that point, but it was hard to be hiding in the back when all the boys and their moms were handling the snakes. After a little "peer pressure" Carl gave in and found the snakes were enjoyable—he and his son Ryan have been helping Steve for over 15 years.

Steve is originally from Kaukauna and currently lives in Redgranite. Carl is originally from Boulder Junction and now lives in the Fox Valley. They are willing to travel almost anywhere throughout Wisconsin and bring their snake show to the public.

This program is suitable for all ages, so bring your kids, your grandkids and your camera for this fun show—it is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Ordinarily, the Bird and Nature Club meets in the Club Room at the back of Town Square in downtown Green Lake at 492 Hill Street but due to the likelihood of a FULL HOUSE, this very special program will take place in the Ballroom on the second floor. You can enter through the front doors. An elevator is available at the back of the building if needed.

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club meets every second Tuesday of the month, from September through May. We welcome anyone with an interest in birds and nature.

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club will be hosting a special presentation next Tuesday evening, April 11th at 6pm called, “GETTING TO KNOW HORICON MARSH” which covers an array of information from the history of the marsh, to its management and locations of its best watchable wildlife areas. Join WDNR Wildlife Educator Liz Herzmann, as she takes you on a 33,000-acre tour of Horicon Marsh.

Created by the glaciers, yet scarred by humans, this important wetland has been restored by conservationists who had the foresight to think about the future of this wetland. Despite the degradation, Horicon Marsh was listed as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 1990 and is ONE of the BEST of THE BEST wetlands in the world. Though significantly changed, it is a true testament to the resiliency of nature when allowed to be preserved. Liz will also take us on a mock birding adventure to learn about some of the must-see bird areas of the marsh including the special “Horicon jargon” you might hear certain areas referred to.

Liz Herzmann has worked for the DNR as a wildlife educator at Horicon Marsh for more than 13 years. She is an avid birder and member of the Horicon Marsh Bird Club. She enjoys the opportunity to reach a variety of audiences and ages to share the amazing story and wildlife of Horicon Marsh. Liz, her husband Matt, and two young children live in Horicon and enjoy spending time outside camping, birding, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and hunting.

To accommodate the number of people expected to attend, this program will take place in the BALLROOM on the second floor at Town Square (the former courthouse) in downtown Green Lake at 492 Hill Street, and will be FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. We welcome anyone with an interest in birds and nature.

“eBird Checklist Big Year” 

Our guest presenter this month will be Jeff Baughman, who some of you may know from many of our Green Lake Bird Festival field trips at Sunnyside.  Jeff has challenged himself to record as many eBird checklists as possible in 2023. Obviously, time is an essential factor, and retiring from teaching has allowed him a little more time to devote to this obsession.

He wrote: “What is the purpose? Why do I want to do this? First, I love to watch birds, and second, I like visiting old and new places to find them. Another goal is to look at species phenology and distributions locally -- within a 10-20 mile radius of my home in Fond du Lac County. We as birders tend to visit our favorite places because we know what to expect to find there. I’d also like to find a few new “favorite” places and routes.”

For his program, Jeff will be showing you a map of the places (sites) has visited, he will talk about strategies, and share photos of some of the birds he has seen so far in 2023.

Jeff has been an active birder since 1977, with a strong interest in field identification. Many will recognize him as being the co-chair (with Tom Schultz) of WSO’s field trip committee since 1987!  He has also served as vice president and president of that organization.

Our second program of the evening will be a video called: 

“Woodland of Wonder”

This will be the presentation of a new video about South Woods Park of Ripon, a beautiful nature preserve that perhaps many of you have visited.  It’s truly a special place, with a long history, and it’s considered to be “Wisconsin’s First Preserve.”

The creator of the video is Brenda Hughes, and she will present it to the group and be available to answer questions about it.

For more information, call President Tom Schultz at 920-960-1796.

In October , the Town Square Community Center lobby will feature work from Erica Krug. She will be displaying pieces of her paintings. You can meet Erica personally at the artist reception scheduled for Friday, October 7, 5 to 6 p.m.

I have always been enthralled with outdoor Wisconsin. My works mainly revolve around the experiences on the farm. Born and raised in rural Alto WI I was surrounded by farmland with all the sights and smells of this wonderful state. The bright orange, yellows, and blues of a sunset across a wide open field. The Smell of Autumn leaves when the weather turns cold. More recently the wind turbines have completely changed the view of our horizon. In many of my works, I capture that view. Married to Christopher Krug and mother of two; Evalyn 9 years, and Benjamin 7. I share my world with them.
