December - Pearson Metropark - Sketching workshop with Vern Bialecki!

​Date: December 6, 2025
Time: 9:00am - 11:30am
Where: Pearson Metropark - Window on Wildlife (Click for Google Maps link)
Fee: ​Free for BSBO Members
Registration Required - Must be a BSBO Member
Participant Limit: 35
Things to know: There are ADA bathrooms available onsite. We may do a short field trip outside where the trails are flat with small gravel. Majority of the trip will be held indoors at the window on wildlife. 
Supplies needed: Paper of your choice (sketchbook, loose paper with a clipboard) and whatever your comfortable drawing with (pencil, pen, marker, etc.), but pen is preferred.
Target Species: Our focus will be on sketching Ohio's over-wintering species based on the close looks that the feeders at Pearson Metropark will provide. Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, and maybe even a Purple Finch could visit the feeders just a few feet away. We can study them up close and talk about the importance of learning field marks. We are thrilled to welcome the very talented artist Vern Bialecki, who will lead our group in basic drawing skills for birds. 
Register for sketching workshop HERE
We look forward to sharing future field trips with you!
