Hi Judith,

 

I was wondering if you or any of the other Lafayette area birders might be able to help out with this request.  Bear (pun intended) in mind that this is the same weekend as the Grand Isle Migratory Bird Celebration.  The Orleans Audubon Society has already committed to help out with the Grand Isle function.  If you can think of some names for me to contact, I'll be happy to do so, but also feel free to contact Byron directly.

 

Thank you for considering this request!

 

Jenn

Hi Jennifer,

I am organizing the educational area for this event on Apr. 17 - 18 in Franklin, LA.  We have done it for several years now, but this year they have included the new "birding" angle for the first time. I attached some more info and a signup form ( might look familiar, it's kind of like Wild Things!).

Are there birders, Audubon members, or bird keepers that you know of in that part of the state (Lafayette, New Iberia, Morgan City, etc) who might be interested in taking part in this?  Of course, you would be most welcome also, though I know it's kind of far away.  I also know that many exhibitors might  only be able to do one day, and that would be OK.  This is the first year that the festival tries to extend the ed area to Sunday also, so we're not sure how that will work out.

Please forward this to anyone you know who might be interested - thank you!
