Subject: [MDBirding] Derek Lovitch to Speak at DVOC


Dear Birders,

The next meeting of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) is this Thursday, September 18th, at 7:30 PM at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, PA. Details at www.dvoc.org .



Everyone is invited to attend. Visitors are always welcome.

Featured speaker: Derek Lovitch

Curious about how the best birders find and ID birds, especially during migration seasons? Derek Lovitch will show us how expert birders combine time-tested field skills with state of the art technology to become "better" birders. Using the Sandy Point (Yarmouth, ME) morning flight phenomenon that is discussed in Derek�s new book How to Be a Better Birder as a case study, we will learn how geography, weather, and habitat combine to provide outstanding birding opportunities, maximize our time in the field, and challenge ourselves to improve our identification skills.

Regards,

Phil Witmer
