Here’s your chance to learn one of Mother Nature’s most challenging groups of birds. The New York State Ornithological Association is offering a shorebird identification workshop and field trip on the weekend of September 17-18, 2011. Kevin McGowan, former NYSOA president and co-editor of The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in New York State, will conduct a shorebird identification workshop and lead a field trip to the Montezuma Wetlands Complex, one of the state’s most important inland shorebird stopover sites. The workshop, which is free and open to the public, will take place at the Montezuma Audubon Center from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday, September 17th. The Sunday morning field trip is open to all current members of NYSOA but limited to 20 participants. Attendees must register in advance by calling Kathy Schneider at (518) 799-3457 or emailing her at [email protected]. Additional details are available on NYSOA's website, www.nybirds.org.
