["Kurt Gaskill" <KurtCapt87@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

VA BIRDers,
 

The Northern Virginia Bird Club is sponsoring this year's Fairfax County
Spring Count.  Last year's species total was a respectable 164 species seen
in the one day - possibly the highest spring county total in Virginia.  We
learned that to do a good job, we need to cover 22 key parks and habitats.
Your help is needed this year.  Please sign up for a few hours for one of
the places listed below - or count your local patch.  Send a note to me, 

 

kurtcapt87 at verizon.net 

 

or Rich Rieger at 

 

zelig at aol.com 

 

to help coordinate the various places.  A few people have signed up for some
of the locations listed, but more help is always welcome and needed - places
like Huntley Meadows really need 2 or 3 teams of counters.

 

Thanks much!

 

Kurt Gaskill
