President’s Welcome 2023

IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE 75th MOS CONVENTION!

Come enjoy spring migration in May 2023 with MOS members from our 15 chapters all across the state! The convention will be held in beautiful Western Maryland, with its rushing rivers and warbler-filled forests. The dates are May 19-21, and accommodations are at the Wisp Resort. Enjoy field trips with skilled leaders and savor the camaraderie of other society members at our evening socials. Hear thought-provoking presentations and view posters from biologists, conservationists or environmentalists. Browse vendor tables. Do you have an artistic bent? Enter our pin contest, if you are an MOS member, and create the design for this year’s convention pin. Is bird photography one of your favorites? Enter our photo contest. Buy raffle tickets for great birding gear! This year is our 75th convention — the perfect time for reviewing our history and for contemplating our future!

Plan on attending and be a part of the 75th MOS Convention celebration!
