Dear Birders:
A reminder that the Central Valley Birding Symposium is upcoming Nov 20-23
at the Stockton Hilton. One can check out the programming and registration
information at cvbs.regfox.com/25home. There is a daily registration
option as well as huge student discounts. Registration questions can be
directed to the registrar Katie Steiner <katie...>
For those of you that have never attended, or are unaware of it, this is
Stockton's very own birding event. This will be the 29th annual running of
the event, and it serves as the annual meeting and biggest outreach of the
highly regarded Central Valley Bird Club. Evening speakers include Ed
Harper on Thur (High Arctic Birding), Erro Lenhert on Fri (Calif Condors)
and Paul Bannick on Sat (Woodpeckers). The extremely popular bird
Identification workshop is Friday afternoon. Saturday is loaded with UOP
and UCD student research presentations, photography and drawing workshops,
as well as a flycatcher ID workshop by Jon Dunn. Field trip offerings are
available everyday.
There are now many bird festivals and birding events held annually
world-wide, and the Central Valley Birding Symposium is considered one of
the premier events by those that regularly attend them. The Symposium is
highly educational, fun, and very community-oriented. Hope you can join.
Happy Fall Birding,
David Yee
