Date: 5/7/26 11:20 am From: Paul L. Pearson via groups.io <Propearson...> Subject: [NEBirds] *no sighting* NOU Meeting Registration Reminder-May 10 deadline for meals!
Just a friendly reminder to register for the NOU meeting at Ft Robinson SP on May 29-31. Deadline to register with meals is rapidly approaching-May 10. You can register up until the week of the meeting, but if you want meals do it now. There are 50+ already registered for meals both nights, so we’ll have a great group.
The UNK ornithology folks have lined up access to the Guadalcanal Memorial Prairie Reserve ( https://www.prairieplains.org/preserves/guadalcanal-memorial-prairie-ranch.html ) and we have many other field trips to those great Pine Ridge hotspots planned including Chadron Area, Ft Rob Area, Sowbelly Canyon, Gilbert-Baker, Sioux County, and Western Sandhills.
We will have our annual business meeting on Fri night and one of the important topics will be the future of our signature publication, the Nebraska Bird Review. Plus, we have three very interesting talks lined up for our evening programs. If you want to know more about Towhees in western Nebraska…we’ve definitely got you covered.
