The Wyncote Audubon Society established the Annual Dinner in 1987. It was created as an opportunity for members to enjoy an evening together in a social setting, hear a program presented by an outstanding speaker, and as an opportunity to recognize individuals who have made meaningful contributions to conservation. The Edward Hicks Parry Award and the John Dornan Conservation Award will be presented! Keynote Program “A Path to Better Birding” In 2015 authors George Armistead and Brian Sullivan published a new book titled, Better Birding: Tips Tools and Concepts for the Field (Princeton University Press). George will discuss this book while spotlighting the birding lifestyle in an attempt to provide a greater context for birding and why we find it so rewarding. George Armistead is chief network officer at Rockjumper Worldwide Birding Adventures, and has guided trips to all seven continents. George has also authored the ABA Field Guide to the Birds of Pennsylvania (2016, Scott & Nix, Inc.). He has a masters degree in environmental studies from the University of Pennsylvania and is an associate at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

Edward Hicks Parry Award: Wendy Twining Clymer will be honored with the presentation of the Edward Hicks Parry Award. This award is given to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Wyncote Audubon Society. Wendy started attending Wyncote Bird Club meetings when she was 5 years old and took part in numerous field trips. She was a session leader at Wyncote’s Fall Nature Seminars.
