“I hope this finds you and every
other soul who pulled off the MBS
slightly rested after a long and righteous night of well-earned sleep.
It was fantastic, guys. I mean it, the
best birding fest of any sort I’ve
ever attended, period. Perfect in
every detail. Preserve it in a bubble,
because this was museum-quality
wonderful.”
—Scott Weidensaul
MBS 2009 Speaker
“My wife and I attended the MBS
as novice bird watchers, we had a
fabulous time learning and sharing
with the group. The speakers were
top rate and the events were spaced
with enough time to relax and watch
the birds at Lakeside. We are looking
forward to the next MBS!”
