> Greetings counters & friends,
> 
> The annual Hanover-Norwich Christmas Bird Count is continuing our New 
> Year's Day tradition, counting this year on Tuesday, 1 January. As 
> usual, we will meet at 7:00 AM in front of Hopkins Center for route 
> assignments and gather at Everything But Anchovies after dark to warm up 
> and count down. The big news from National Audubon is that they have 
> discontinued the $5 participant fee, which will simplify record-keeping 
> a little bit and slow the economic drain for those of us who do multiple 
> counts!
> 
> Please let us or Dan ([log in to unmask]); 603-448-2544) 
> know if you can help out this year. We are looking forward to seeing 
> everyone again (if briefly) and reacquainting ourselves with all of 
> those Black-capped Chickadees in our territory. We have been whetting 
> our appetites from afar here in Maryland with all the recent reports of 
> Bohemian Waxwings and lots of northern finches including two kinds of 
> grosbeaks! Who knows what other goodies await the thorough birder on 
> count day.
> 
> If you know other birders in the area who would be interested in 
> counting, please pass this information on to them. Thanks!
> 
> Be well, happy, & successful (and a Happy X-mas),
