On May 24, 2024, the Jericho AYLUS Branch embarked on a creative project, painting various bird species for an upcoming summer camp event at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center. Demonstrating our members’ passion for environmental education, we meticulously portrayed 15 bird species including the Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, Wood Thrush, American Goldfinch, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Screech Owl, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Carolina Wren, Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Cedar Waxwing, and Black-throated Blue Warbler. These exquisite artworks will serve as both captivating and educational resources during the camp, inspiring a deeper understanding and appreciation for wildlife and conservation among the attendees. This endeavor underscores our branch’s commitment to fostering environmental awareness and providing enriching experiences for young individuals interested in nature and wildlife.
Participants (all 2 hours): Mackenzie Tam, Kelly Lin, Johanna Duan, Chloe Yang, Emilie Kurniawan
