The Long Point Bird Observatory is looking for keen teen birders to apply for the 2013 Doug Tarry Natural History Fund – Young Ornithologist Workshop to be held from Saturday August 3 to Sunday August 11.

Participants will receive hands-on training in field ornithology including bird banding, monitoring, field identification, birding trips, preparing museum specimens, guest lectures, and more!

Six of Canada’s most promising ornithologists between the ages of 13-17 will be selected to attend, and will receive the Doug Tarry Bird Study Award to cover all on-site expenses. For those traveling long distances, special grants may also be available to help offset air travel costs.

Applications are due April 30, 2013.
For more information and an application form, contact us at lpbo@birdscanada.org, or visit their website.
