Hello Everyone, After two very successful Lake Erie Pelagic trips last winter, Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) , Inside the Great Outdoors Radio, and Discovery Tours are pleased to offer two more: November 13 and December 11th, 2010. We've got great leaders lined up, including: John Pogacnik, Kenn Kaufman, Jennifer Brumfield, and Gabe Leidy. Both of these trips sold out fast last year, so we encourage you to register early. More details and online registration are available at the BSBO website: http://www.bsbobird.org/events/lake_erie_pelagics.htm We also hope you'll consider joining us for BSBO's Annual Banquet & Weekend Celebration, September 17, 18, and 19. Robert Michael Pyle will be our keynote speaker, and his latest book, Mariposa Road: The First Butterfly Big Year, will be hot off the presses for our event. We're teaming up with the Ohio Lepidopterists to host a Sugaring and Blacklighting for Moths field program on Friday evening, September 17th, and a field trip with Mr. Pyle on Sunday, September 19th. And, lest you think we've left out the birds, Kenn Kaufman will be offering a Shorebird ID Workshop for us on Saturday morning, at 10:00 a.m. in Port Clinton. It's an entire weekend of celebrating birds and butterflies! More details and registration information can be found here: http://www.bsbo.org/events/annual_banquet_celebration.htm Thanks, and good birding!
