The Man in the Myth: J.J. Audubon
Tuesday, October 6, 6:30 pm
Visitor and Student Services Center,
OSU Lima Campus
 John James Audubon, the namesake of the National Audubon Society, has historically been considered to be the founding father of American birding. His artwork, his writing, and his legacy have influenced generations of birders. But who really is Audubon? Where does the man begin, and the mythology end?
Zach Walton, Librarian at OSU Lima, leads us on a historical dive into the facts behind John James Audubon. Snacks are provided!

 Enjoy mid-fall birding at a tremendous birding location. Litzenberg Memorial Woods is made up of 227 acres of rolling countryside, wooded ravines, and a grand expanse of wetlands and prairie. The diversity of habitat and prime location along the Blanchard River make it a host for a variety of fall migrating birds. We’ll spend most of our time in the south end of the park, birding toward the Blanchard River. Expect to spend 1-2 hours birding. Meet in the main parking lot - 6100 US-224, Findlay, OH 45840.
