9 February 2017 – Each spring, Bird Studies Canada and Long Point Bird Observatory select six of Canada's most promising young birders between the ages of 13 and 17 to receive the Doug Tarry Bird Study Award. The winners are invited to participate in a birding trip to Long Point, Ontario for the Young Ornithologists' Workshop. The award covers all direct costs (recipients are responsible for transportation to and from Long Point).
The 2017 workshop will take place from Saturday, August 5 to Sunday, August 13. Participants receive hands-on training in field ornithology, including: bird monitoring and banding, bird identification, museum specimen preparation, birding trips, guest lectures, and more! Applications are due by April 30. For information and an application form, visit our website or email lpbo@birdscanada.org.
The workshop is supported by Bird Studies Canada's Doug Tarry Natural History Fund.
