[IGunny@xxxxxxx]

Hello Birders,
If any of you are interested in being a part of the Thanksgiving Window Watch 
Bird Count, you may participate on Thanksgiving Day. The count is for one 
hour, any time during the day you choose. Select a circular area 15 feet in 
diameter to include feeders, bird-baths, etc. Imagine the circle extending 
upward 
as a cylinder. Count the number of birds of each species which come into this 
cylinder during the hour. Judge the actual number of birds NOT the number of 
VISITS. count only the birds you see in the circle at one moment, then add 
others only if you know they are different individuals in the circle. There is 
a 
form that usually goes with this count but I cannot put it on the email so send 
in the birds you see both in the circle as well as  others outside the circle. 
I will tally them for you correctly. You may mail me your results at this 
address:
Susan Wingfield
556 Lady Slipper Lane
Lynchburg, VA 24502 
Or you mail email me at IGunny@xxxxxxxx
I will try and put the final tally on the VA-Bird sometime in Jan or Feb. 
Good Luck and Happy Birding!
Thanksgiving Window Watch Chairman, Susan Wingfield
