I am forwarding an email from Hilary Chapman who coordinates the Shorebird Sister Schools Program (SSSP). It is a program that links students, education, biologists, and shorebird enthusiasts along flyways tracking shorebird migration. The idea is for the participants to become more aware, knowledgeable, and engaged in conservation of shorebirds and habitats in their local communities. Elizabeth Ciuzio KDFWR We need your help!!! To fully engage participants along flyways, we would like to have postings from across the country about shorebird observations. This could include observations of shorebird departures, arrival, breeding, nesting, including the habitat they are using, other species seen (animals and plants) etc. We would also be grateful for any postings regarding observations and/or results from research or monitoring projects. Observations are posted on our web page at http://sssp.fws.gov click on shorebird update. Your observations are highly valuable to this program. Send postings to: sssp@xxxxxxx or hilary_chapman@xxxxxxx Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you!!!
