Road Scholar 2024

This year, we hosted 5 weeks of Road Scholar programs on South Bass Island! Birders came to the islands from all over the U.S. to enjoy spring & fall migration. With over 125 participants, we saw over 150 species including merlins, American white pelicans, and even a Connecticut warbler. Visits were made to Heineman’s Winery, the Island Grind on Middle Bass, & Perry’s Monument & International Peace Memorial. Each week we finished our trip at the Magee Marsh boardwalk. Our fall program also included owl banding with bander Tom Bartlett & his team. This year’s staff included Lisa Brohl, Val Chornyak, Diane Nemec, Hayley Rinearson,Amy Alford, Shane & Laura Roberts, Kelly Williams, Dana Bollin, Tammy Martin, Talia Meade, and Diana Steele.
