This announcement recently landed in our in-box:

The Bedford Audubon Society has announced that it will award its Marty McGuire Scholarship to Rye Country Day School sophomore Scott Wieman at ceremony at Katonah Village Hall on May 14th. Scott was chosen from a list of highly qualified candidates from all over Northern Westchester and Eastern Putnam counties. He will use the award to attend a week-long environmental research camp at Maine Audubon Society’s Hog Island.

The Audubon Society noted that Scott has shown a keen interest in the environment and, in particular, ornithology, for many years. He has attended the camp at the Hog Island Audubon Center twice, worked as a volunteer at Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado, been a conservationist in Training at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, attended Vermont Audubon’s High Pond camp, and also worked at the Rye Nature Center. AT RCDS, Scott is vice president of the Environmental Club, and is in the midst of a three-year research program focusing on wood warblers and specific threats to their migration. Scott is working  under the mentorship of Andrew Farnsworth of Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology.
