Birding With a Purpose - Audubon Assembly 2006

The next statewide Audubon conference for Ohio, the Audubon Assembly, is scheduled for the weekend of November 10 - 12, 2006 in Columbus. This year's theme, "Birding With A Purpose", will focus on the role that birdwatchers across the state can play in enacting lasting conservation for birds and bird habitats.

Highlighting the Assembly will be keynote presentations by noted ornithologist Jerome A. Jackson, author of 'In Search of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker,' and Pete Dunne, author of the new 'Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion.'

The Assembly is presented with the support of conservation partners ODNR Ohio Division of Wildlife, Black Swamp Bird Observatory, Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas II, and the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative. The conservation of bird species through habitat conservation is the focus for the Assembly.

So save the date and watch for more details in coming months on how you can participate.
