March 15--Calling All Bird Lovers to a Statewide Bird Conference in Waltham!
-- This conference is all about Massachusetts birds and for the people who
enjoy them-at backyard bird feeders, in your community or in the fields,
forests, waterways or coastlines of Massachusetts! Register for the 16th
Annual Birders Conference co-sponsored by MassAudubon and MassWildlife. This
year's theme is "Massachusetts Birds: Our Common Wealth and Natural
Heritage." Whether you feed birds at home, seek birds with binoculars,
spotting scopes or hunting gear, you are sure to find topics that appeal to
your interest in Massachusetts birds including: research findings, waterfowl
identification, youth bird clubs, conservation stamps, bird calls, habitat
management techniques for birds in decline and many other topics of
interest. Presentations will be offered by a variety of experts from state
agencies and conservation organizations. Visit displays and exhibits offered
by bird oriented groups and businesses and lunch with bird enthusiasts from
all walks of life! Proceeds from the Birders Meeting will support
MassAudubon's Important Bird Area (IBA) program and MassWildlife's Natural
Heritage and Endangered Species Program. Program details and registration
