The Event brings together teenagers who are interested in pursing a career with birds. The young birders will meet people who have successful careers involving birds, from ornithological researchers to tour leaders, audio specialists, and computer scientists. The primary leaders for the event are Chris Wood and Jessie Barry.

High-school-aged birders are invited to submit their application before May 10, 2009. Ten young birders will be selected and notified in mid-May.

Please share this information with any young birders you know!
