Even though the airline had cancelled the flight of the keynote speaker, he \u00a0was able to \u201cattend\u201d and deliver the presentation on Golden Eagles through modern technology! \u00a0Visits were made to Headlands Dark Sky Park to see Owl Banding and visit the beautiful new observatory which won the Pure Michigan award for this year. (The observatory telescope is expected to arrive soon.) On the return to Oscoda, some of us stopped at several of \u201cHotspots\u201d on the Sunrise Coast Birding Trail.
