["Christopher Verch" <chrisverch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Help spread the word with the Great Backyard Bird Count poster and press 
release.
You can print or email a Great Backyard Bird Count poster/brochure to 
distribute in your community. It's available on the GBBC web site along with 
a press release that you can send to your bird club or community newsletters 
to alert them about the upcoming count, February 16-19, 2007. If you'd like 
to receive copies in the mail, please email citizenscience@xxxxxxxxxxxx This 
year, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon are challenging 
bird enthusiasts to "Count for the record!" Please help by encouraging your 
friends and colleagues to take part. Greater participation provides a more 
complete record of where the birds are. Last year, participants submitted 
60,616 checklists--just missing the all-time record by 433 checklists.
