Divers and Dabblers

Sunday Open House: Divers and Dabblers

Learn about the various waterfowl that can be seen in the Quabbin and Massachusetts areas. Using specimens from the club collection and images taken, Ernie LeBlanc will discuss identification criteria as well as the habits and adaptations of ducks and other water birds.

While visiting the Center please check out the Junior Duck Stamp art exhibit on display through September. The exhibit includes the “Best in Show” art by Annabelle Xu. The intention of the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation through the Arts Program is for students to communicate visually what they have learned about waterfowl, habitat, and wetland conservation by creating and submitting artwork of a native North American duck, goose, or swan. In Massachusetts, the Junior Duck Stamp Program is sponsored by MassWildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with support from the Massachusetts Sportsmen’s Council.

The Millers River Environmental Center is located at 100 Main Street in Athol. Doors open at 1:00 PM the building is accessible; the program is free and open to all.
