Hello. I am sorry to hear that Hooters would not sponsor the owl symposium at Heuston Woods!! That is disappointing. I often eat at their restaruants when I am traveling. I guess they want to reach a diffrent demographic of people? Still, bird watchers can be out in big numbers for their events. Should we contact the Hooters's headquarters to let them know by way of friendly letters that advertsing bird watching events is not a bad thing? I should stress not mad letters but friendly letters. If more corporations know about bird events like the owl event coming up, they might think twice if approached again with a sponsorship request.
I wish I could go to the owl symposiom but I will be out of town working again. It sounds like fun.
Thank you for your time

Hi all, It looks like we'll have a good crowd for the upcoming February 24 Owl Symposium - details at http://www.ohiobirds.org/ and I look forward to seeing everyone. There's room for more, too, and we welcome you with open arms for what should be a very interesting and informative event. The Hueston Woods lodge is enormous, and lots of owlers can fit in there. Ohio Ornithological Society board member Bill Thompson, known to many as the editor of Bird Watcher's Digest, is event MC, and his lovely and talented wife Julie Zickefoose is one of our speakers. If you haven''t seen her new book, Letters from Eden, which is hot off the presses, check it out. Anyway, Bill and Julie are excellent musicians, too, and often play with their band, The Swinging Orangatangs (I know its "Orangutans", but they put the "tang" in Orangutan!). Jules and Bill, who will be freshly back from an expedition to Guatemala, will be there and in good tune to play music on the Friday
night before the symposium. Try and come on down Friday night and hang out with everyone and have some fun. And to whoever asked, no "Hooters" is not sponsoring this event! Jim McCormac Columbus, Ohio
