If you don't have plans for Saturday night you should go to see Norman
Smith's presentation for the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association
annual meeting! And if you do have plans, you should cancel them and do
this instead! =)
Norm was the keynote speaker at BSBO's annual banquet a few years ago and
he delivered one of the most outstanding and memorable bird-related
programs I've ever seen. Inspiring, moving, funny, educational, and
lavishly illustrated, his presentation is as much about the way birds
impact our lives as it is about the important research he has conducted.
When Norm's presentation ended, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, and
every person in the audience was on their feet applauding this remarkable
man and his dedication to birds.
Go see this presentation! I promise you won't regret it. And you'll be
helping to support an important cause, too.
Here's the information from Manon Van Schoyck:
While OWRA welcomes all to our weekend long conference, we are offering the
Saturday night banquet dinner and speaker separately. The Conference is
from November 11-13th and is being held at the Holiday Inn at Routes 270
and 23 in Worthington. For more information or to register, see the Ohio
Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Web site <http://www.owra.org/events>
or contact Manon VanSchoyck (740-967-8320). Walk ins are welcome Saturday

Good Birding!

It's not too late to join the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association in
welcoming Norman Smith Saturday night at the Holiday Inn in Worthington.
Members of the public can attend the Saturday night banquet only and enjoy
dinner and Norman on his talk "From Snowy Owls to Sawhet Owls". Norman
joins
us from Massachusetts Audubon Society and Blue Hills Trailside Museum and
Norman Smith Environmental Education Center in Milton, Massachusetts.
Norman has studied birds of prey for over 35 years, including
rehabilitating
the injured and successfully fostering over 1,000 orphaned hawk and owl
chicks into adoptive nests. His ongoing long-term projects include
trapping
and banding migrating hawks and owls in the Blue Hills Reservation,
banding
nestling hawks and owls, and doing research on snowy owls and other
raptors
wintering at Boston's Logan International Airport. He has also traveled to
Alaska to study snowy owls in their native tundra habitat. His research
work
has been published in National Geographic, National Wildlife, Ranger Rick,
Yankee, Massachusetts Wildlife, Bird Observer, Birding, Sanctuary, Geo,
Nature, Grolier Encyclopedia, Owls of the Northern Hemisphere and Owls of
the World. His mission is to use the information gathered from his
research
to stimulate a passion in everyone he meets to help us better understand,
appreciate and care for this world in which we live.
