I'm sending through my state email, so maybe you can read it. Humph. For those of you interested, I have attached information for the 2007 Southeast Partners in Flight meeting to be held in Memphis. I hope to have a nice contingent from Tennessee as it is in our state and I'm the local host. The meeting will consist of several sessions with presentations covering certain topics (we are working on the agenda) and an open session where students, researchers, and others give talks about their projects. The focus is obviously on the southeast, so there will be talks by many folks in the area on species you know and love. There will be announcements for abstract submissions, but all that information is on the website. Might be a good opportunity to hear about local research etc. that you may not have known about. There's always a bunch of cool talks showing the amazing things birds do. Lots of conservation oriented research, planning, and population information etc. for birds in the southeast. If you have any questions, please contact me at my email (scott.somershoe@xxxxxxxxxxx) or reach me at my office: 615-781-6653. Here's the meeting info: I am pleased to officially announce that the 2007 Southeast Partners in Flight Meeting will be held in Memphis, TN from 7-10 February 2007. The meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn Select at the Memphis Airport. Access via interstate and airport is very easy (free airport shuttle, too). Rooms are only $75/night! When you call for reservations, please make sure you mention you are attending the Southeast Partners in Flight meeting and give them the booking code of E72 to ensure you get our meeting rate. http://www.state.tn.us/twra/pifmeeting.html Through this website we have all the information you need about registration fees and forms, directions to getting here, deadlines, what is included in registration, field trips, etc. We are working on the specific agenda for presentations on Thursday and Friday (8th and 9th) and a "Call for Abstracts" will be forthcoming; however most of the information is included on the website. Please make hotel reservations early as the block may fill. In addition, please consider registering for the meeting in advance, which will save you extra cash! Please forward widely to anyone who may be interested. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you in Memphis!! Sincerely, Scott Somershoe State Ornithologist Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency P.O.
