You won't want to miss “Birds of Northeast Ohio” presented by Larry Rosche at the monthly meeting of the Kirtland Bird Club this Wednesday evening. The authoritative Birds of the Cleveland Region (BOCR) states that “three hundred seventy-six species have been documented in the history of the Cleveland region…” BOCR author, past KBC president and Cleveland Bird Calendar editor, and noted conservationist Larry Rosche returns to give an overview of the fascinating diversity of birds that we find in Northeast Ohio throughout the year, and will address your questions on when and where to find those more rare species you’ve been searching for. Larry Rosche is Conservationist Specialist for the Natural Areas Division, Conservation & Biodiversity Department, Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Larry is an Honorary Lifetime Member of the KBC, having served as Editor of the Cleveland Bird Calendar for 16 years and as a President. In addition to the BOCR, Larry authored Dragonflies and Damselflies of Northeast Ohio, edited the 1988 and 2004 editions of the Field Book of Birds of the Cleveland Region, co-authored the chapter on Cleveland area birding for the Birder’s Guide to Metropolitan Areas of North America; inventoried and atlased birds in eastern Ohio for the Ohio Department of Natural Areas and Preserves, reviewed all the distribution maps pertaining to Ohio birds for all of the Peterson Field Guides including Birds, Sibley’s Guide to Birds and the National Geographic Society’s Birds of North America. All KBC monthly meetings take place at 7:30 pm at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History (1 Wade Oval Dr, Cleveland) in the downstairs classroom. Admission is free; parking is free for KBC members (you can join at the meeting or online at the KBC Web site) so bring your parking ticket in to be stamped. We'll have BOCR for sale!
