The 2022 New York State Ornithological Association Conference will take place Sept 30 - Oct 2 in Oswego, NY and will be hosted by Onondaga Audubon. Join us for an exciting conference highlighting the birds of Lake Ontario and keynote speaker, Scott Weidensaul!
Field trips across the lake shore to Rice Creek Field Station, Fair Haven Beach State Park, Sandy Island Beach State Park, Sterling Nature Center, Derby Hill Bird Observatory, and others are planned. Participants are sure to enjoy an assortment of migrating warblers, shorebirds, and raptors. A paper session on Saturday will highlight the research of local ornithologists who are contributing to bird conservation in New York. In addition to educational presentations, many fabulous bird-themed vendors will be present with goodies to purchase. Two celebrated speakers are at the center of this event. On Friday evening, Bill Evans will discuss nocturnal bird-migration and lead an outdoor field trip to listen for the flight calls of birds migrating above us in the dark. On Saturday, eminent author and researcher Scott Weidensaul will present the keynote address, “A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds.” Scott will also make himself available to conference participants throughout the weekend by joining us for meals, mingling during cocktail hours, signing books, and accompanying us on birding outings. The conference is open to everyone, and we hope you can join us! Single day tickets are also available for the Weidensaul event.
