The many state and federal reservoirs in Kansas are great places for bird lovers to observe a wide range of bird species during the fall months, according to Mike Rader, wildlife education coordinator at the Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Department.

Rader, editor of the “Bird Brain” column in the Kansas Wildlife and Parks magazine, will deliver a presentation, “Fall reservoir birding – you’ll need a scope!” at the next meeting of the Sperry-Galligar Audubon Society at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29, in Room 102 Yates Hall on the Pittsburg State University campus.

Rader, who was named the 2014 Avian Conservationist of the Year by the Kansas Ornithological Society, will give tips on birding at Kansas reservoirs during the fall and winter months and will point out some that he believes are the best ones to visit.

The presentation is free and open to the public.
