What's more fun than a lek full of grouse?

A museum full of birders!

Celebrate Utah's Birds at the first annual

Utah Ornithological Society Convention

September 7-8, 2001

Monte L. Bean Museum

Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah

Join your fellow birders at Utah's first-ever state-wide meeting about birds and bird-watching. Educational sessions will improve your birding skills, teach you new field techniques, and introduce you to new birding locations in Utah. Of course, there will be great field trips to view the fall migration in Utah County, and plenty of opportunities to socialize with other birders from around the state. If you enjoy watching birds in Utah, this is an event you won't want to miss!
