Registration information in PDF format

Join KOS members for a great weekend of birding in one of the most unique parts of the state where tallgrass prairies yield to eastern deciduous forests, making way for a wide diversity of birds. Participants will have opportunities to visit Schermerhorn Park and the Southeast Kansas Nature Center in Galena, Neosho Wildlife Area, and the Prairie State Park in Missouri. Other locations include the 200-acre Ford Farm, a property restored to woods and wetlands, and Pittsburg State University’s Natural History  Reserve, 80 acres of un-reclaimed mined land.
