demonstrations every Saturday morning during the
month of May. These demonstration will take place from
10:00 - 11:30 AM and will offer detailed information on
BSBO's migration studies, including what we've learned
during the more than 20 years that BSBO has been
studying migration in the Lake Erie Marsh Region.
 Hot
off the Press!
The BSBO Gift Shop is now carrying Kenn Kaufman's
newest book - Flights Against the Sunset.
Flights Against the Sunset brings together nineteen
essays, mostly adapted from Kaufman's long-running
column in Bird Watcher's Digest. They weave an original
story that examines how we communicate about our
passions with those who do not share the same interests
and how to celebrate the world of infinite possibilities
and wonder.
April

Sunday Morning Guided Bird Walks
Meet
at the Observatory at 8:00 AM.
Join
BSBO every Sunday morning April 27th through June 1st,
as we explore birding hotspots such as Magee Marsh and
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. We’ll start each walk
with a trip around BSBO’s brand new and relatively
unexplored walking trail. Participants can help us
determine what birds are using the marvelous scrub-shrub
habitat that our new walking trail loops through!
