Peveto Woods Work Day - FYI

Sorry is this is a duplicate but we want to get the word out to as many people as possible.

 

BRAS friends,
I will be spending Valentine's Day, Saturday 2/14/09, at Peveto Woods. Jimmy
will be driving down with the tractor and we will put in another day of
removing debris and clearing some paths. Anyone wishing to join us is
welcome. Hope Norman has given us access to their camp as a home base. I
will actually go down Friday afternoon and spend the night rather than drive
down early Saturday. We will probably get started around 8:00AM. I will have
water and sandwich fixings for those that have lunch with us. I may spend
Saturday night as well depending on response.
Let me know if you are joining us so I can figure on quantities. E-mail me
direct.
Thanks,
Dave Patton

 Here are just a few quick reminders and updates:

Ø      To enter your bird count checklists, go to http://www.birdcount.org on the weekend of the count and click on the big "Enter your Checklists" button.  Note: This button will not appear until 7:00 AM February 13.

Ø      Don't forget to upload your images for the GBBC photo contest!  You can submit photos from February 13 through March 1 (a link to a page where you can upload photos will appear on www.birdcount.org on February 13). A select number of photos will be posted in the online gallery during the four days of the GBBC.

Ø      Don't forget to play Eagle Eyes! Hone your birding skills as you wait for the count to begin.

 Feed the birds all winter!

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is offering one season of Project FeederWatch free to NEW participants who sign up during the month of February. Visit www.feederwatch.org to be part of this project and to receive a free kit and a subscription to the BirdScope quarterly newsletter.

Each year, your discoveries enlighten and inspire us. Thanks to all of you, we had great participation last year. With your help, we can get just as many or more checklists this year!
