Date: 9/23/25 11:38 am From: Edge Wade <1edgewade...> Subject: MBS Fall Meeting
The Friday evening workshop on sparrow identification techniques led by
Kendell Loyd was much appreciated and commented on by many.
The Saturday evening keynote presentation by Don Ficken, founder of DarkSky
Missouri and Lights Out Heartland was chock full of information about the
programs and actions we all can take.
And, the field trips, led by knowledgeable GOAS member local leaders, were
superb, with a total of 117 species seen despite a notably poor showing of
shorebirds and ducks.
The silent auction brought in more than $800 for MBS programming. Thank
you, bidders.
Birding friendships were renewed amid great weather conditions (I don’t
know who Michael put in charge of weather for this one, but the results
were noteworthy.)
Thanks to all who worked to make this meeting a topnotch experience.
See y’all in St. Louis in the spring…if not before.
Meanwhile, bodacious birding!
