A correction on the Scoters in the Grand Marais area. One was a Surf Scoter 
instead of a White-winged Scoter.

[mou-net] Book donations for annual book sale - MOU Paper Session

2017-10-24 Thread Liz Harper

Hello MOU members and mou-net subscribers,

We are starting to collect bird related books for the annual MOU book 
sale at the Paper Session. If you would like to donate books for the 
sale, you can bring them to the Landscape Arboretum the morning of the 
Paper Session. If you are unable to attend the Paper Session, but want 
to donate books, please contact me at this email address at least a week 
prior to the Session to arrange a drop off.


All donations help the MOU achieve its goal of supporting bird science 
and conservation efforts and contribute to the Savaloja Fund, which 
grants financial support to a myriad of bird work in Minnesota.



Thanks all,


Liz
