Last summer two young birders from Kentucky were awarded the Wendell and
Virginia Kingsolver Scholarship given by the Kentucky Ornithological Society
to attend the American Birding Association's Camp Avocet in Delaware.
Caitlyn also received an additional scholarship from the Louisville Audubon
Society. Both had an interest in birds from an early age and wanted to
further their knowledge of the avian world. Caitlyn Roberts from Goshen and
Tanner Shepard of Waddy were given the opportunity to learn from experts,
meet other young people who share the same passion for birds, and add many
new birds to their life list. Caitlyn is a young naturalist at Creasey Mahan
Nature Preserve and Tanner has started a club called Young Birders of the
Bluegrass. Tanner and Caitlyn both want to pursue careers in ornithology
because of their experience at the ABA camp.
We hope you will join us to find out more about their experiences as young
birders. If you know a young person who is interested in birds this would
be a good time to bring them to the joint meeting of Beckham Bird Club and
the Louisville Audubon Society. KOS scholarships for 2015 are available for
young birders. For more information go to the KOS web site at birdky.org.
Our meeting will be on Tuesday, February 10 at the Clifton Center, 2117
Payne Street off of Frankfort Avenue, in Louisville, KY, at 7:00 p.m.
