Reminder/Register Now - The ABA Mid-Atlantic Young Birder Conference September 22, 2012
Dear MD-Birders,
The ABA and Leica Sport Optics have partnered to create a unique birding experience focusing upon young birders and their mentors in the populous Mid-Atlantic area. The ABA Mid-Atlantic Young Birder Conference, co-hosted by the Delaware Nature Society and DOS's Delaware Dunlins Youth Birders Club, will prove to be a very special event this fall. The first-ever Mid-Atlantic Young Birder Conference will take place on the beautiful grounds of the Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin, Delaware. Bird walks and hawk watching at the peak of fall migration will feature prominently, as will concurrent indoor learning sessions for new and experienced young birders alike, allowing everyone from elementary school through late teens to find things of interest. There will also be special sessions by and for parents, mentors, and club coordinators.
For our keynote presentations, we're very excited to have Bill Thompson III, editor of Bird Watcher's Digest and author of The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North America, and Marie McGee, ABA's Young Birder of the Year 2012. Bill and Marie will deliver a one-two punch that will have everyone fired up about birding and its potential to enrich and connect us all, kid or adult. Each registered participant will receive a FREE copy of The Young Birders Guide to Birds of Eastern North America upon checking in.
Conference Date/Times/Location: September 22, 2012 9:00 to 4:00 (optional pre-conference birdwalk begins at 8:00) Ashland Nature Center, Hockessin, DE
