Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 8-10, 2021
On October 8-10, the Florida Chapter of TWS will be holding a virtual joint meeting with the Florida Ornithological Society (FOS). Friday (Oct 8) will consist of bird technique virtual workshops (10am-1pm) and respective member meetings (2-4pm). Saturday (Oct 9) will include student research presentations (10am-1pm) and keynote speakers along with a traditional Bird Skin Quiz with prizes (2-5pm). Sunday (Oct 10) is a virtual Birding Challenge using eBird (again, with prizes).
We are asking for presenters to send abstracts (no more than 250 words) to the FOS VP Mary Mack (graymarymack@gmail.com) by September 25. These will be for 10-minute talks for students (open to both undergrad and grad) and 15-minute talks for professionals. Student presenters are eligible for prizes, and abstracts will be published in the next edition of the Florida Field Naturalist. Feel free to contact Mary Mack for more information or questions. Please share widely, all presenters on wildlife or bird conservation topics are welcome!
In the last week of September, we will send out the full meeting agenda with a link to register. There is no cost for the conference. Zoom links will be sent out to registrants for each section’s activities. Prizes will be mailed out to winners of each competition.
