Howdy, Birders,

What a wonderful meeting we had at McAllen, Texas from November 4 - 6, focusing on diversity in birding put on by FOCUS ON DIVERSITY: CHANGING THE FACE OF AMERICAN BIRDING. Leader, Dave Magpiong brought together an amazing group of panelists, educators, nature center staff persons and birding members to explore how we can more effectively reach out to engage diverse audiences in birding and general outdoor activities. I learned so much from this very inspirational group!
