We had a fantastic turnout for yesterday's Yellow Rail webinar! Special thanks to Anna Sidie-Slettedahl and Jane Austin for terrific presentations and to Ken Ostermiller for taking notes. All materials from the webinar are available on the Midwest Secretive Marshbird Working Group page or by following this link:

You can also post comments on that page to keep the conversation going. Be sure to tune in next week to two webinars from the Midwest Coordinated Bird Monitoring Partnership (check out calendars for full details).

 

2013 is already starting out to be a productive and focused year for our partnership, and I'm excited to work with all of you along the way!
