Julie Zickefoose makes a compelling case to get your binocular-toting self to the Midwest Birding Symposium in Lakeside, Ohio. As if you needed another reason once you heard I was going to be attending.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
I’ll see in you the Den of Blogniquity. BTW, were you able to work out lodging?
Great! And, yes, I’m rooming with that woodpecker guy.
I can’t wait to get to one of these fests. Alas, not this year. I feel like the kid who is invited to the party but can’t go. Watch out for that woodpecker guy though.
Groan — I really want to go but unfortunately Friday is completely dead for me. Is it worth it if I can only show up by noon-midday Saturday? Is stuff going on all day Sunday or just the morning? I’d really hate to miss it, but also don’t want to put in 10+ hours of driving if I’ll miss most of the good stuff.
