BLACK SWAMP BIRD OBSERVATORY'S
ANNUAL BANQUET & CELEBRATION
September 17, 18 & 19, 2010
Port Clinton, Ohio
We are extremely proud to
feature Robert Michael Pyle as our keynote
speaker. Widely hailed as "the father of
butterfly-watching," Pyle founded the Xerces
Society for Invertebrate Conservation, began
the summer butterfly counts that have become
so popular, and wrote the first true field
guide to butterflies of North America.
However, he is better known as a superb
general naturalist and one of the world's
finest nature writers. Author of more than a
dozen books and hundreds of magazine essays,
he has won legions of readers with his
astute observations and lyrical prose style,
and he excels as a master story teller in
person as well. Bob's newest book,
Mariposa Road,
will be hot off the presses in
September—please join us and be among the
first to hear of his adventures in travel!

Marie S. Aull Education Center
July 23, 2010
9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm is hosting
a conference to explore ways to increase
diversity. As America becomes more
ethnically diverse, providers of birding,
environmental education and outdoor

diversity in order to increase support for
conservation actions. Aullwood is proud to
offer a one-day conference featuring people
who are doing something about this issue.
