Just thought this might be of interest. Here is an opportunity for birders to visit a wonderful birding area and enjoy a real learning experience. David Arbour plays host to lots of birders from neighboring states through the year and oversees an amazing diversity of wildlife that he nurtures, plus provides and improves habitat for and it's just over the border from Arkansas in Oklahoma. Not too far for more of us in the Mid-South to utilize. Jeff R. Wilson From: _David Arbour_ (mailto:arbour@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Subject: Red Slough Birding Convention Just wanted to let you know that there is only room for 30 more people to register for next month's Red Slough Birding Convention (nonprofit) in southeast (Idabel), Oklahoma.
