DCBC PROGRAMS FOR WINTER



January 25th: "The Quest for the January 100!", Jason Larson, Executive
Director, Richland County Park District and Gorman Nature Center.

     Did you know it's possible to see 100 species of birds in January?
Visit a nice warm place like Texas, Florida or California and you'll have no
problem finding 100 species in the dead of winter, but if you look hard
enough, you can even find that many right here in Ohio! That's right! Ohio!
January is the time for new

beginnings! New Year resolutions, diets, relationships and bird lists! As
bird watchers begin their new year lists, most begin the year by adding a
few species at their feeders or on a local bird walk, but look forward to
the

warmer months and migration to really start adding species to their lists.
Why wait? Nearly 200 species of birds have been recorded here, in Ohio, in
the month of January and at least 120+ can be seen with some regularity...
if you know where to find them. You'll hear all about the common and
not-so-common species and where to look for them, as well as mind-bending
tales of January Purple Martins, Pectoral Sandpipers, Orchard



Orioles, warblers, hummingbirds, and the bird that started it all... the
famous Geauga County Brown-headed Nuthatch! So hold on tight and join Jason
Larson and his merry band of birding cohorts as they crisscross the state on
their annual quest for 100 species of birds in the month of January!



Jason Larson is the Executive Director of the Richland County Park District
and Gorman Nature Center. He is a lifelong resident and student of the great
state of Ohio having attended The Ohio State University, Muskingum

Muskingum University. Jason also serves on the boards of the Ohio Biological
Survey and the Ohio Ornithological Society. A lifelong bird watcher,
