Hello Buckeye Birders,
You now have the option to attend JUST the Saturday evening keynote
presentation by Drew Wheelan, ABA Gulf Coast Coordinator, on October 9th in
Eastlake, Ohio (Cleveland vicinity) during the OOS Sixth Annual Meeting.
We've just added this option: see the OOS website for more details
(http://www.ohiobirds.org/)
Drew will present a first-hand account of the effects of the disaster in the
Gulf on birds and bird habitat, and subsequent efforts to clean it up. He
will also examine wildlife response efforts and behind-the-scenes politics,
including rehabilitation and recovery efforts. The confounding role of
corporate and governmental oversight, as well as the exclusion of a willing
volunteer force will be discussed: recommendations to prepare for and deal
with likely future environmental disasters will be presented. Drew has taken
thousands of images of the spill, as well as many hours of video, which he
will also feature in this special keynotepresentation. Read Drew’s blog at:
