2008 upcoming conference details: 2008 Conference Preview Each year, members of the Maryland Ornithological Society meet for a weekend to conduct their annual business meeting. The Annual Conference features birding field trips, workshops, a presentation of research papers, a guest speaker, local nature artists, a bookstore and much more. Conferences have been held in a variety of Maryland Counties. We've been to Ocean City, Solomon's Island, the Wisp Ski Resort in Garrett County, Washington College in Kent County, Salisbury State University in Wicomico County, the Ray Bolger Center in Montgomery County, University of MD Baltimore County, and others. For each conference, a pin is selected and given to each particpant. Conference pins illustrate the conference year and a bird species appropriate to the conference site. Pin designs are selected by competition and are highly treasured conference souvenirs. Many conference attendees proudly display their colorful collection of pins going back many years.
