News And Chatter

  • We have a new look.  We hope you will find it easier to read and navigate through the site.

  • The January-February Nuthatch newsletter has been posted on the Nuthatch page of the website.  We will continue to let you know when the newsletters are posted so you can read/print them.  Thanks for keeping up with us.

  • Upcoming field trips include January Winter Ducks and February Short-eared Owls.  See the Field Trips page for details.  We've also added a link on our Field Trips page for Seven Ponds Nature Center's field trips.

  • The 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count will take place on February 12-15, 2010.  The count is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society.  You can count the birds you see in your backyard, off your balcony or at a local park.  Visit www.birdcount.org for easy to follow instructions.

  • See the Links page for information about The Biggest Week in American Birding, May 7-16, 2010.

  • We're excited about our updated Photo Galleries page. Check out the new Birds of The Great Lakes Region.   It now includes photos of over 250 bird species seen in the Great Lakes.

  • A note to our members - please contact OAS President, Don Burlett to indicate how you would like to receive the Nuthatch.  We are trying to reduce costs and would like to have as many members as possible either get the newsletter from this site or have it e-mailed directly to them.  Please take a moment to consider how much money we could use for other programs if we reduce newsletter mailing costs.  We look forward to hearing from you.

  • If you have any news that is current and should be communicated to our members, please contact Don Burlett,  OAS President..
