Our next MOS Conference will held at Washington College in Chestertown on June 11-13, 2010.
Friday evening keynote speaker Doug Gill will give an update on his work at Chino Farms. Doug's talk at the 2004 Conference was one of our most popular talks.
Marshall Iliff will be conducting a workshop Saturday afternoon on eBird. He will precede the workshop with a field trip Saturday morning. As usual the field trip will be limited to 20 people on a first-come, first served basis. Marshall will take data from the field trip and show how to input it and it is used by eBird. He is particularly eager to share the larger goals of eBird and how it is changing our understanding of birds.
Field trip planning has already begun. There will be listers trips to Cecil, Kent, and Queen Anne Counties. Because some MOS members have excellent contacts in the area, there will be access to private property not ordinarily available for birding.

For each conference, a pin is selected and given to each participant. 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.
