August and September In-Person Field Trips Cancelled
The OFO Board has made the difficult decision to cancel August and
September field trips because of safety concerns due to the ongoing
COVID-19 situation. Several events have been cancelled in October and
November as well and registrants have been notified. Please check the OFO
website for details.
Weare still hoping that we can go ahead with field trips later in the year,
but will reassess towards the end of September, when schools have been open
for a few weeks and reopening is farther along. In lieu of in-person field
trips, we are working on bringing OFO members and the wider Ontario birding
community virtual field trips and workshops and self-guided outings so we
can all enjoy birding safely.
We would like to hear from OFO members about how we can best support your
birding during this time. Would you go on an organized field trip if these
were offered? Would you be interested in virtual field trips, self-guided
tours, or webinars?
Please help us make the best decisions for our members by completing a
short survey – it will take you less than five minutes. Thank you!

Good Birding,
Lynne Freeman on behalf of the Board
