Ohio Birders,

I apologize for using the list as an advertisement tool, but it is the best
way to reach many of you who may be interested in an upcoming bird class.
I am offering a one day (three hour) course on the basics of birding
through my employer, Zane State College.  This course is geared to help
those with an interest in birds learn the first steps to a lifetime of
fulfilling experiences watching birds.  The course will be held in
Zanesville at Zane State College.  If you know anyone in the
Muskingum/Licking/Coshocton/Perry/Noble/Guernsey County area who may be
interested, please pass this on. Because this program is run through the
college, there is a fee. The minimum age requirement is flexible...contact
me personally to bypass the age restriction.

As many of you know southeast OH is greatly under birded.  I am interested
in creating a strong core of birders in this area.  Please contact me
personally (off this list) if you have questions.  I also have other
birding classes that I will offer in the future.  If you or someone that
you know are interested in these classes, let me know and I will put you on
a mailing list. The registration information is pasted below.

Sincerely,

Scott Albaugh
