Bill presenting me with a certificate of appreciation. |
This past Saturday, Rob and I attended the 27th annual
Ontario Eastern Bluebird Society general meeting. We've been members for four years and really enjoy this yearly meeting. After our first meeting I volunteered myself to manage their
Facebook page, and I handle their
Twitter account as well.
The meetings are always educational and fun filled. I look forward to it every year and this year I received a pleasant surprise. Bill Read, the Founder and President, presented me with a certificate of appreciation during the meeting. I was stunned, there are many other members who do so much more, managing nest trails, etc, but the gesture was much appreciated.
I didn't take as many photos as I normally do because I was too busy talking and getting caught up with people I hadn't seen in a year!

Rob snuck off and saw an owl on his lunch break while I was at the board meeting. |
It was another informative and enjoyable day. There was a great video presentation in the morning on Prothonotary Warblers and Eastern Bluebirds. The afternoon talk was presented by Audrey Heagy from Bird Studies Canada on Eastern Whip-poor-wills in Ontario. Looking forward to next year!
