Jim Berry, RTPI President, will be speaking in Ohio on May 16, 2009 at the Ohio Ornithological Association Annual Meeting. For more information see below:
Please join the Ohio Ornithological Society for their 2009 Conference and Annual Banquet, May 16th, a sensational time for migrating warblers in the Oak Openings and Lake Erie marsh regions.
Staging ground for the 2009 OOS conference is the beautiful Holiday Inn-French Quarter in Perrysburg, a stone’s throw from the Oak Openings’ best habitats. Book now at OOS' greatly reduced conference center rates to enjoy all the amenities of this first rate hotel within a half-hour drive of many northwest Lake Erie birding hotspots.
The Saturday-only conference will feature three nationally known speakers, Kim Kaufman of Black Swamp Bird Observatory, Jim Berry of Roger Tory Peterson Institute and Jim McCormac of the OOS. Visit our vendors, browse the educational displays, and enjoy good conversation with fellow birdwatchers during our buffet dinner.
And after the conference, plan to visit one or more of the featured destinations for self-guided tours; there will still be plenty of migrants streaming through, including coveted latecomers like Mourning and Connecticut warblers. Your conference packet will provide directions to seven great locations, ready to showcase the best they have to offer to our OOS membership. See you at “The Oaks!”
