Latest News Upcoming Field Trips

Birding in Wayne and Holmes counties
Saturday, September 11, 2010

We'll meet at 9:00 a.m. at Time & Optics Ltd., located at:
      6954 County Road 77
      Millersburg, OH 44654
      (330) 674-0210.

We'll drive the BSBO bus. If enough people sign-up, we'll make additional travel arrangements to accomodate everyone.

Map of the areas that we'll likely visit, including Funk Bottoms, Killbuck Marsh, and Wright Marsh.

Area resident Greg Miller will help lead this field trip. Greg and two other birders had their big birding year story told in the book titled The Big Year, which was reviewed by OYBC member Sarah Winnicki. That book is currently being made into a comedic movie, starring Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black. The movie is scheduled for release in 2011.

To sign-up for this field trip, call the Black Swamp Bird Observatory at 419-898-4070 or e-mail us at info@ohioyoungbirders.org.


Big Sit Fundraiser
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

Fundraiser proceeds will help support OYBC events and activities.

In conjunction with National Wildlife Refuge Week, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge will host the OYBC version of The Big Sit event on Sunday, October 10, 2010.

The rules are simple: bird watchers, refuge volunteers, or anyone with an interest sit in a 17-foot diameter circle and identify all the birds they see or hear during a defined period of time.

Our starting and ending times and location in the refuge have yet to be determined. We'll provide more details about this OYBC event later.

You can come and stay as long as you want during this day-long event. Bring a comfortable chair and something to eat and drink.

View the species list from the October 2007 OYBC Big Sit at ONWR. Obsservers recorded 58 bird species that day, so that gives us a number to shoot for and exceed.

More details about the Big Sit can be found at: http://birdwatchersdigest.com/bigsit
