Fyke's speaker on Friday night (10/25) is Ed Kanze, Swarovski Optik/Bird Watcher's Digest 2017 Birder of the Year and a terrific writer.

Ed, a highly accomplished naturalist, Adirondack guide, author and photographer, will talk about an Adirondack biological survey he and his family have conducted since 2000, covering birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, wildflowers, trees and more.

Ed is the author of one of my favorite books about nature,  "The World of John Burroughs."

You can read more about it here.

The meeting starts at 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Allendale Borough Hall, located at 500 West Crescent Ave.
