The capital city is in Shawnee County. The Friday evening social gathering and the Saturday events will be at Washburn University (campus map). We will be meeting in the recently renovated Stoffer Science Hall (northeast corner of campus), and participants can view more than forty 120-year-old mounted bird specimens that remain from the Goss collection. The Saturday events include the presentation of student papers, the silent auction, member photo sharing, and the evening banquet.
Sunday field trips will be to Baker Wetlands in Lawrence, Banner Creek Reservoir in Holton, Shawnee County State Fishing Lake, Melvern Lake, and Topeka’s famous Felker Park. Participants can buy a lunch for the noon compilation at Washburn University’s Karlyle Woods.
KOS will be offering a youth conference on Saturday for birders age 12-16. A registration form is required. Contact Janeen Walters at janeenwalters@cox.net. Additional informational available here.
