Keynote Speaker

Join us Saturday evening at the Rangeley Inn for Cameron’s keynote and the presentation of the John Bicknell Award for Birding Conservation.
Lessons from a Bird Bum
Birding Tips Learned Through a Misspent Youth
Cameron spent his early adulthood traveling the country in search of birds. He learned the lessons by sleeping on picnic tables to avoid nocturnal snake snuggling, having his most prominent piece of household décor be a license plate, and numerous encounters with bears with designs on his stash of canned chili and yogurt. Amid a few misadventures were thousands of hours of birding and many more hours spent thinking on how to improve as a birder. You can receive a distillation of the lessons he is learning while not having to experience wrathful squirrels or parched mosquitos. Join us for a lighthearted evening of learning.
