Mark your calendars now for WBCI's 2011 Annual Meeting
to be held Thurs-Sat, Sept 29 - Oct 1, in Green Bay, Wisconsin

Co-hosted by WBCI, the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology, Western Great Lakes Bird and Bat Observatory, and University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Cofrin Center for Biodiversity, this three-day meeting will feature a unique blend of birding, science, and conservation-related topics.
Thursday's session will address "Science in Service of Management" and focus on development and implementation of bird monitoring programs that evaluate management and conservation work at site- or regional-level scales.  If you're looking to help shape WBCI's bird monitoring efforts or start a monitoring program on your property, you won't want to miss this.
Friday will consist of an "Ornithological Symposia" highlighting recent news and research on birds in and around Wisconsin.  This day is designed to be of interest to birders and professionals alike!
Saturday's theme is "Becoming a Better Birder and Citizen Scientist" and will include hands-on eBird workshops, bird identification talks, and volunteer training for WBCI monitoring programs, as well as an optional afternoon birding field trip on Lake Michigan.  If you've participated in previous monitoring efforts or are considering how you can get involved; this is the day for you!
