The annual fall convention of the Arkansas Audubon Society will take place at the Crowne Plaza in Little Rock Oct. 26-28. Registration will begin at 4 p.m. Friday, followed by dinner at 6:15 p.m.

   Rob Doster, current member and past president of AAS who now works at the Bureau of Reclamation in Albuquerque, NM will speak on “Life and Times of the Willow Flycatcher – An Update from the Southwest.”

   Five field trips scheduled for Saturday include:  Two Rivers Park, Bell Slough, Lonoke, Murray Lock & Dan/Cooks Landing and David D. Terry Lock and Dam/Willow Beach. Each offers its own particular habitat which include woods, wetlands, grasslands, marsh and fish ponds. A variety of bird species will be seen.

   Speaker for the Friday evening dinner will be Paul Hamel on “The Forgotten Cerulean Warblers of the Mid-South.”  Hamel works at the Center for Bottomland Hardwoods Research at Stoneville, Miss.

   Convention registration is $20 per person with evening meals an additional charge.

   An opportunity will be given for students to present their research in the form of a short research presentation of 12-15 minutes or a poster presentation. All students are encouraged to update the AAS on current research.
