We all receive so much “stuff” at holiday and birthday time and never know quite what to do with it all. There is another way to show you care about that special person and contribute to bird conservation at the same time. Below are some gift giving ideas available at the Observatory Gift Shop for the conservation minded. And if you can't stop in, we can help you with your gifts over the phone, 419 898-4070.

2011 - 2012 Duck Stamp
Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps (commonly known as the Duck Stamp) are pictorial stamps, the profits of which are dedicated to purchasing habitat beneficial for waterfowl and other migratory birds. At a cost of just $15 for the stamp (or $17 for the stamp and a sturdy key-ring holder), the Duck Stamps are responsible for providing 98% of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge’s land. Of every dollar made from Duck Stamp sales, 98 cents goes directly toward purchasing critical habitat. This stamp will be available in July, 2011. Stop by the BSBO’s Gift Shop and get your Duck Stamp today! Or purchase your conservation stamp now using PayPal here.
BSBO believes in Kenn’s vision. We have entered into a partnership with an organization known as the Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) to distribute copies of Kenn’s Spanish language bird guide to people across the southwestern US and northern Mexico. The SJV is a partnership of organizations and individuals striving to conserve the unique birds and habitat of this region. Visit www.sonoranjv.org to learn more about this dynamic organization. We are teaming up with other organizations across the state such as the Ohio Ornithological Society and the Ohio Division of Wildlife to get as many books distributed as possible.

In
the spring of 2005 Kenn Kaufman’s Birds of North America
became the first field guide to the birds of the US and
Canada to ever to be published in the Spanish language.
Guia de campo a las aves de North America is a testimony
to Kenn’s commitment to championing the cause of nature.
Kenn funded this project himself in the hopes that this
book would help to recruit scores of new birders from
among the more than 28 million Americans who speak
Spanish at home. In today’s world our natural resources
are facing countless threats. Kenn’s idea is that the
more people we can awaken to the beauty and importance
of our natural world....the more support we win for
conservation.
