Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) is pleased to announce their 17th Annual Banquet and Weekend Celebration, September 17, 18, 19, in Port Clinton, Ohio. This year's event features "the father of butterfly-watching," Robert Michael Pyle and his brand new book, Mariposa Road: the First Butterfly Big Year! We've joined forces with the Ohio Lepidopterists Society to present a Blacklighting For Moths field program on Friday evening and a Birds & Butterflies field trip to Resthaven Wildlife Area on Sunday morning. And, to round out a nature-packed weekend, Kenn Kaufman will be presenting a Shorebird ID Workshop on Saturday morning. Online and mail-in registration is now open through the BSBO website at the link provided below. Last year's event filled up quickly, so please register soon. http://www.bsbobird.org/events/annual_banquet_celebration.htm We hope you'll join us!
