Here is a good way to visit Fair Haven and knock visiting there from your list.
And to learn more about the The Monmouth County (NJ) Audubon Society
It is a chapter of the National Audubon Society and is dedicated to the enjoyment and study of nature, wildlife conservation, habitat protection and education.
Join teacher/naturalist George Nixon for his program, “Hummingbirds,” at
the Monmouth County Audubon Society meeting on Wednesday, January 8, at 8:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Church of the Nativity on
Ridge Road in Fair Haven. The public is welcome; admission is free.
Every bird-lover who watches hummingbirds has marveled at their
amazingly aerobatic flight abilities. But just how do hummingbirds fly?
These tiny birds have unique flight mechanisms that give them a completely different style of flight than other birds, and understanding that flight can help people better appreciate the wonder that is a flying hummingbird.
In his program, George will discuss the physiology of hummingbird flight
and explain how they do the amazing aerobatic feats of flight that they do. George will also discuss in detail the ecological relationships that hummingbirds, which are the largest nonpasserine group in the world,
share with other species.
George Nixon is a retired teacher and naturalist whose interest in nature began more than 25 years ago. He is a past member of the New Jersey Bird Records Committee, which documents rare bird occurrences in the state. He is a current member of the Urner Ornithological Club and
is the founder of NJOdes, a website for New Jersey's Odonate (dragonfly/dameselfly) enthusiasts). When not traveling the world to see birds and other wildlife with his wife Val, George can be found closer to
home enjoying the birds of New Jersey as well as butterflies and odes.
Arrive early and take in the town. Shop around, visit the Fair Haven Library to learn the history. Dine at a local resturant,
Monmouth County Shore Area Online Dining.
In case you don't know what I mean by knocking off the town. I wasn't refering to when your parents used to say "Knock it off in there". I am referring to the challenge, I presented a challenge to visit all the towns in Monmouth County as a new year's resolution. The goal is to try and see if you can visit all 53 municipalities of Monmouth County in the year 2014. It's up to you how you want to do this. You will find a complete list at Monmouth County Municipalities You must be in the town and not one
of the sections. For added excitement see if you can visit all the sections. This adds on around 58 more places to visit. For more information about Monmouth County History, check out my page of Museums & Historical Societies.
