The Conference featured: field trips, behind-the-scenes ornithology tours at the New York State Museum, a Friday evening reception followed by five different workshops, the annual corporate meeting of NYSOA, 8 Paper Session Presentations, and a Saturday reception followed by a banquet and awards. Jon Dunn, the Keynote Speaker, held an Informal Taxonomy Discussion before the banquet and gave a fascinating presentation on Warblers after dinner. There were many other fun activities, including an identification quiz on 10 different New York State Museum bird specimens, a quiz during dinner on non-avian things you might see or hear while birding, and raffle prizes! Enjoy a few photos from the Conference!*** Photos can be viewed at: https://www.facebook.com/nybirds Joan Collins President, NYS Ornithological Association Editor, New York Birders Long Lake, NY (315) 244-7127 cell (518) 624-5528 home http://www.adirondackavianexpeditions.com/ http://www.facebook.com/AdirondackAvian -- NYSbirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics Rules and Information Subscribe, Configuration and Leave Archives: The Mail Archive Surfbirds BirdingOnThe.Net Please submit your observations to eBird! -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
