Good Morning All!
This is Katharine Patterson, Program Chair at the Oregon Ridge Nature Center
writing you. Being a birder, I have just subscribed to MDOsprey and have
enjoyed the information, observations and exchages tremendously. The Nature
Center, where I volunteer, is hosting a very special event and I believe if
anyone would be interested in this,it would be all of you folks. Pete Dunne
will be speaking and doing a book signing at the Oregon Ridge Lodge in
Cockeysville, Md. on Monday, April 19th at 7:30 pm. We would like to give Pete
the most appreciative audience we can since he is taking the time to do this
for us, so, if anyone knows how to pass this information on further it would
be greatly appreciated. I hope you can come! Many thanks. Details follow:
