Hello – Do you realize that the OBA Annual Meeting in The Dalles is only three weeks away? Have your registered? We have a great meeting planned with interesting evening programs and super field trips in an area many of us probably have not birded. Some of the greatest ever birders will lead the trips (ok, a little hyperbole – but, jeez, they are GOOD! A few of them are even modestly amusing....) Registration forms are on the OBA website at: www.orbirds.org/2013conference.html Send in your registration today, then get your motel reservations made (Meeting Headquarters: The Dalles Inn - the rooms are very pleasant, clean, and quiet. Discounted rates are at $85, mention OBA). We are looking forward to a great weekend. For families – plan to visit the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and learn about the Oregon Trail, the Missoula Ice Age Floods and stay for the Raptor Experience with live birds of prey! Question? Drop me a note – if I don’t know I’ll find the folks who do! See you there, Mary Anne Sohlstrom OBA Treasurer (this is why you send your registrations & $$ to me.....) masohlstrom@xxxxxxx
