The Kiptopeke Songbird Station is scheduled to open by the end of the week as 
migrants are already moving. The good news for the birds and the visitors and 
station volunteers is that Jethro Runco is returning again. Thanks to the 
Center for Conservation Biology at William & Mary, especially Dr.Bryan Watts 
and 
Bart Paxton, for again providing the banding permit.

Staff have been hired for the hawkwatch and hawk banding programs, to begin 
Sept 1st. More details will follow about them. The Observatory is still 
searching for a Monarch Program staff person.

The workshop on birds, butterflies and coastal ecology will be held at 
Kiptopeke on August 23rd, from 8 a.m. to noon. To register, contact me at 
Taberzz@xxxxxxxx

The Kiptopeke Challenge (Sept 20) team birding competition will have a number 
of new teams entering this year. There is still plenty of time to register in 
either the 24 hour, 3 hour or youth categories. If you need details, please 
let me know.
