[mou] A 'don't miss' conference in October

[Valerie Cunningham]

Plan to attend:

Fall conference to spotlight birds and habitats

Everyone who cares about birds and their habitats is invited to  
attend “Declining Species, Declining Habitat: Reversing the Trend,”  
Oct. 12-14 in Bloomington, Minn., with researchers, authors and  
policy-makers probing gains and losses in our region’s ecosystems.   
The conference, sponsored by Audubon Minnesota, is open to the  
general public. Find out more and register online at http:// 
mn.audubon.org/.

Join experts as they discuss the latest information on grassland,  
forest, wetland and neighborhood birds.  Learn about how changes in  
the environment affect birds and current efforts to preserve them.  
Hear keynote speaker Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, noted scientist and  
author, probe whether migratory songbirds are “canaries in the coal  
mine.” A full day devoted to the Mississippi River spotlights the  
importance of this major flyway, culminating in a excursion on a  
Mississippi River sternwheeler. Kenny Salway, a true “river rat,”  
will be on hand and humorist Al Batt entertains luncheon guests.

Field trips and a special presentation on global warming, featuring  
John Flicker, president of the National Audubon Society and Dr. Mark  
Seeley, University of Minnesota climatologist and Minnesota Public  
Radio weather commentator, round out the weekend’s events. This is a  
“don’t miss” event so mark your calendars now.
