No “Summer Slump” for SCC Audubon Club
Although monthly meetings are suspended for the summer, the SCC Audubon Club remains busy with field trips and other activities. The club has partnered with the SCC Community Association to have professional ecologists develop a Habitat Management Plan (HMP) for the entire 37 acres of the Nature Trails property. The plan will define a recommended maintenance regime for the restored portion of the property. Bluebird nest box monitoring is in full swing. Twenty-five boxes are monitored weekly by five teams of two people each. Bluebirds start nesting at the end of February and some are already on their third brood. They will continue to nest until about the end of August or early September. As of last month, over 50 bluebirds had fledged! A baby bird of a different feather that was rescued this summer was recently released from rehab. A pre-fledgling Great Horned Owl fell from the nest on the corner of Pebble Beach Blvd. and La Jolla Drive. Audubon Master Birder Ray Webb called the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay, whose staff retrieved the owlet. She was dubbed “Sunny” and was held in rehab until she could fly and catch live prey. Regular Audubon Club meetings start up again in October. The full schedule is available on the club website at http://www. sccaudubonclub.com/meetings.
SCC Men’s Chorus to Sing at Raymond James
The Sun City Center Men’s Chorus has been invited to sing the National Anthem at the Tampa Bay Rays’ game on September 4. The ball game, which has been designated “Senior’s Day,” begins at 1:10 p.m. against the Baltimore Orioles. This event will mark the Chorus’ sixth appearance at the Trop. The Rays have never lost a game at which the SCC Men’s Chorus has sung. “We’re hoping to keep the streak alive,” said Tom Hinkebein, the chorus president. “So, come out to the park and help root for our Rays!”
