damselflies in Minnesota.  I thought I forward this dragonfly event that =

  PRESS RELEASE - February 8, 2005:=20

  Rainy River Valley Field Naturalists to Host Dragonfly Symposium=20


  The Rainy River Valley Field Naturalists (RRVFN) will host the fifth =
annual Great Lakes Odonata Meeting - GLOM 2005 - this July 15th through =
18th. The symposium will draw up to 40 participants from at least five =
states and two provinces to Fort Frances and the Rainy River District to =
survey surrounding habitat for dragonfly and damselfly species.=20


  Home to about 80 species of dragonflies and 10+ species of =
damselflies, the Rainy River District from Atikokan to Rainy River =
boasts more species than all of Europe. Second only to birding, =
dragonfly watching is a fast growing past time and draws on many of the =
same skills. Dragon and damselflies or "odies", short for their =
scientific name "odonata", are everywhere and serve as key indicators of =
a healthy environment. Certain species are limited to very specific =
habitats. The Rainy River District, with its large lakes, rivers and =
peatlands located amongst a variety of topography and forest types =
offers diverse odie habitat yet remains under surveyed due to our =
limited local resources, isolation and the large area to cover.=20


  GLOM 2005 aims to change this by bringing both experts and novice =
dragonfly watchers to the district to join in field surveys and =
discussions. At the end of four days participants will have contributed =
to a more complete survey of our critical habitats and, it is =
anticipated, new species records for the district.=20


  The first Great Lakes Odonata Meeting, organized by zoologist Colin =
Jones of the Ontario Natural Heritage Information Centre, was held near =
Elliot Lake in 2001. Since then, GLOM has been held in Michigan, =
Minnesota and Ohio. Coming back to Ontario this year, GLOM 2005 will =
feature speakers Kurt Mead, biologist and Minnesota author of the award =
winning field guide, Dragonflies of the North Woods; Bob DuBois, aquatic =
ecologist for the Wisconsin DNR and author of the soon to be released =
Damselflies of the North Woods; and Colin Jones, zoologist, editor of =
Ontario Odonata and co-author of A Field Guide to Dragonflies and =
Damselflies of Algonquin Provincial Park and the Surrounding Area.=20


  Registration for GLOM 2005 is $75.00 with a cutoff date of June 1, =
2005. The symposium will include a social with opening speaker on July =
15th in Fort Frances; a field day, banquet and speaker on July 16th near =
Emo; a community ""Dragonfly Day""on July 17th in Emo; a short afternoon =
field trip on July 17th and a field day to key locations in the center =
and west end of the district on July 18th.=20


  The Rainy River Valley Field Naturalists thank FedNor Canada and the =
Rainy River Future Development Corp for supporting this event. For =
further information contact RRVFN at PO Box 253, Fort Frances, Ontario =
P9A 3M6, or Bill Morgenstern at 807-274-7314.=20
