To all Kentucky birders,
I'm writing to urge you to consider joining (or renewing to) the Kentucky
Ornithological Society. There are several great, active birding groups in
the state. The KOS is the umbrella group that publishes the state's
quarterly newsletter, keeps the listserv up and running, monitors state
birding lists, rarities and records, and sponsors two outstanding meetings
every year.
To find out more about the KOS, please visit our website, at
https://birdky.org/index.php. Also, I am attaching a sample of an earlier
issue of *the Warbler*.
To join or renew, you can go to https://birdky.org/join.php. It's easiest
for us if you renew online, but if you'd rather write a check, there's a
printable membership form on the same page. (The online membership button
has a PayPal logo, but you don't need a Paypal account to use it.) All dues
paid now are good through December of 2023.
*ONE MORE REQUEST*. *Please consider making a donation to one of our
special funds,* outlined at https://birdky.org/donate.php. These funds
sponsor scholarships, research and publication, bird-related environmental
education, and summer bird camps in Colorado for young Kentucky birders. To
see the projects we've supported in the past two years and the reports from
those recipients, click
https://birdky.org/aboutsponsoredprograms.php#fundsreport.
I hope everyone has a good fall and winter, and I urge each of you to join
us for our spring meeting at Kentucky Dam Village SRP in April (membership
not required.) See https://birdky.org/kosmeetings-1-upcoming.php
