Where is Kiptopeke?  What does CVWO stand for?  I'm new to all of this, but it 
sounds really interesting.

  Kristi,

  No arrangement is needed to visit and observe.  Jethro runs 7 days a week 
from about 15-30 minutes before sunrise through the early afternoon, and later 
if there are still birds around.  He is always happy to have visitors walk up, 
and if you tell him you would like to help out, he might well put you to work 
and show you how various things are done there.  He is a very friendly and 
generous person.  The season is Aug 15th - Nov. 22nd.  A good tip:  the best 
days are the ones associated with a cold front the day/night before, so that 
the winds have been from the NW the night before.  Almost all the songbirds 
that migrate do so at night and attempt to take advantage of the wind.

  Bob

    Bob, how does one arrange a visit to view and or assist with banding 
efforts on Kiptopeke?

    Heard from Jethro Runco, CVWO's bander at Kiptopeke this morning. They 
started on Aug. 15th, and he says they are off to the best start ever. Already 
banded 58 species, including Louisiana waterthrush, Nashville warbler, Kentucky 
warbler, blackpoll warbler, golden-winged warbler, blue-winged warbler, and 
blackburnian warbler! Also banded an eastern screech owl and a 
chuck-wills-widow. Says this current cold front has been terrific. The birds 
are moving!
