[EBB Sightings] Memorial and Celebration of Life for Dr. Howard Cogswell

  Dr. Howard Cogswell, reknowned local ornithologist, died this summer at the age of 91. His many friends and colleagues in the birding world will be gathering on Saturday, October 14th, at his namesake marsh at the Hayward Shoreline, to honor and remember his life. All members of the birding community who were encouraged or inspired by Howard and his work are welcome to attend. 
 
The Ceremony starts at 10:00 am. Folks are encouraged to share their remembrances. If you are unable to attend, but would like your remembrances read to the group, please contact me privately. Refreshments will be served. A guided walk throught the Cogswell Marsh and adjoining freshwater marsh (normally closed to the public) will follow the Ceremony, so don't forget your binoculars!
 
Meet at the foot of Winton Ave., West of Hwy. 880. We will be parking inside of the EBRPD gated lot. Directions to the exact Memorial site will be posted on the gate. For a map to the area, go to: http://www.ebparks.org/parks/hayward.htm#Map
 
Hope to see you there,
