General MeetingsHeld the third Wednesday of each month except June, July, August, and December at 7:00 pm for social time and 7:30 pm for the program at Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 North Altadena Drive, Pasadena. We've Got a Winner John has been participating since the age of 10 in the American Birding Association's competition for Young Birder of the Year. In 2007, in his final year of eligibility for the 10-13 age group, John took the Grand Prize. In addition to the congratulations and respect of his fellow birders, John gets a $1000 scholarship toward a field ornithology camp and a pair of Leica Ultravid HD binoculars. Come congratulate PAS's newest star and hear him relate his experiences in this competition. He will be showing photos, notebooks, illustrations, and essays that were used by the judges. There will be anecdotes, plans for the future (thereâs a 14-18 age group, too!), and time for question-and-answer. For more details about the Young Birder of the Year competition, go to web site http://www.americanbirding.org/yb/yby/index.html Bird Identification Oh no! Another bird ID program? Well, yes, but this time with a twist. We'll look at a wide range of birds, so there will be something for everyone; from the slightly tricky to the very tricky and from common to rare. As long as the bird has been recorded in LA County, it's fair game. In this presentation, we'll take some time to look at photos of several species and let the audience test their skills identifying them. Then we'll go back and work through the process of identifying each bird before moving on. Everyone is encouraged to actively participate in identifying the photos and asking questions. As usual Jon and Mickey will share their insights, knowledge and ID tips. Bring your bird guides, binocs (they work well with the images) and your "bird" brains... we'll see you there! Pasadena Audubon Society Save the Date! Join us on the patio for drinks and appetizers followed by a delicious dinner, catered by Luciano's, at the beautiful Eaton Canyon Nature Center.
