News from the field

Electronic Osprey Update

Email and paper responses to the impending electronic newsletter change-over have continued to trickle in. Because responses are still arriving the Board of Directors decided to push back the implementation date until the return from summer break. If you haven't sent in your preference for how to receive the Osprey newsletter it is suggested that you do so soon. Check your current paper Osprey for information on how to send in your response.

New Website

Welcome to the newly redesigned website of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society! Many more updates are expected as we have time to work down our To-Do list for the website. If you find typo's or other errors please contact us. We like to keep things tidy around here and don't need stray coma's or mispeled words messing up the place! (That one was on porpoise.) If you are a member and have a website that you would like listed on our Links page drop us a line, we'll check it out and add it if it's family friendly. Enjoy your time here and let us know what you think, questions or comments about the website can be sent to our Webmaster, Chris Ordiway (email).
