Birding America VII

March 18, 2006 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Discover great places, great people and great birds at Chicago Audubon Society’s Birding America VII. This symposium is your opportunity to get the inside information on some of the most rewarding places to bird locally, nationally and internationally. Local and national experts will help you plan birding trips and vacations around hotspots, highlighting resident birds and well as migrants. Locations to be covered range from the Upper Midwest to Costa Rica. The current schedule as listed is subject to change as we are working on adding more lecturers and topics.

Birding America VII also includes skill-building sessions on flycatcher and duck identification, gardening for birds and butterflies, and an ever-popular digiscoping workshop. Throughout the day, vendors will have booths set up with birding books, field equipment, clothing and other birding related items.
