This month's meeting will be on Thursday, 19 January 2023, at the Marshall Public Library from 7-8:45pm.  Please bring up to 10 bird images you have made on a flash drive; each person will have time to explain their bird or travel images.  Share with us what you have been doing.  We will also briefly talk about a project PVAS will help fund at Camas NWR, for two years.
