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.
