The Nasketucket Bird Club will be meeting on Thurs., 3/28 at 7 PM at the Mattapoisett Public Library, 7 Barstow St. Member Carolyn Longworth will present “From Bad Hotspot to Good Hotspot: Birding at Egypt Lane.” She will give a brief history of Atlas Tack, the Fairhaven superfund site which went from a dumping ground for industrial cyanide and PCBs to a prime bird habitat through cooperative funding by state, local and federal governments.
Carolyn will show photos of some of the birds, common, endangered and just plain surprising, that have visited. Some are glimpsed on the way to somewhere else and others stay and raise families. If a rare bird is going to show up in Fairhaven, it will probably be at Egypt Lane.
Open to the public, accessible. Use the south door entrance.
