The annual meeting of the Kentucky Ornithological Society will be held during the weekend of September 19th - 21st , 2014, at Lake Barkley State Resort Park. The meeting will include field trips Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning. Friday and Saturday evening meetings include excellent guest speakers. More details will be published soon on the KOS website, <http://www.birdky.org> www.birdky.org. The park is holding a block of 20 lodge rooms for KOS members, at a group rate of $ 89.95 plus taxes per night. This block will be held until August 19th; after that there is no promise a room will be available, discounted or otherwise. To reserve a spot, call 1-800-325-1708 and tell them you are with KOS. If I read their website correctly, they have a couple of pet-friendly rooms available. They also have cabins and campsites in the park. We'll get more specific information online in the near future, but don't wait too long to get a room. We took twenty-four rooms at our spring meeting. I hope to see everyone on September, Steve Kistler KOS Pres.
