Hi All, First of all, have you signed up yet to attend the Midwest Birding Symposium? If not, time is running out. The friendliest event in birding is only a couple of weeks away. Go to this site to get registered ASAP: www.birdwatchersdigest.com/mwb2013/main.php Secondly, exactly a month later on Saturday, October 19th is the Ohio Avian Research & Conservation Conference hosted at Denison University (http://tinyurl.com/kfhf3nb). This event is sponsored by the Dawes Arboretum, Columbus Audubon, and BioQuip, and is endorsed by the Ohio Ornithological Society. Our slate of speakers is rapidly filling up and more are being added quickly, so check it out. Additionally, if you have some research that you’d like to present as a speaker or in poster format, please contact me. We’re especially seeking student and citizen science presenters, but welcome everyone. You can register for the event by visiting the link above, or you can go directly to the registration site here: http://ohiobirdresearch.eventbrite.com/ If your organization would like to help sponsor this event please contact me directly. Additionally, organizations, agencies and vendors can sponsor display tables at the event. Table sponsorship can be purchased directly through the event registration site. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing you in October, if not sooner!
