Happy New Year Fellow Birders! Wishing all of you good birds in 2012 it looks as though everyone is off to a good start! If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out The Ohio Ornithological Society's new website. www.ohiobirds.org We have special discounts on our memberships during the month of January, so be sure and join and renew today! I also wanted to let you know that we have a few spaces left for the OOS Wilds Extravagant on the 14th of this month. The upcoming weather does not look as brutal as in years past and there have been several posts of good sightings in the area. Golden Eagle, Rough-legged Hawks, Short-eared Owls, Northern Harriers and American Kestrels to name a few. Also, with the warming temperatures early in the week, it may open up some water for some good waterfowl. Please RSVP to [log in to unmask] to reserve your space today. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
