 JUNE MEETING:
 
 Thursday, June 11th. 
 
 "Differentiating Confusing Pairs" by Dennis Shirley
 
 Many birds pose tricky identification problems because they look so similar to other species. Dennis will show how to differentiate about 20 pairs of these "look alike" birds. In the process, he will help us all become better, more observant birders. He recently gave this same presentation with great effect to attendees of the Great Salt Lake Birding Festival. 
 
 Meet at 7:00 PM in the Bean Museum Auditorium on the BYU Campus.
