> The Love Creek Christmas Bird Count in Bandera County is set for Thursday, 
> December 18th, 2014. 
>>> Last year’s count was the counts first time and it was a success as we 
>>> broke 100 species and found birds such as Townsend’s Solitaire!  We hope 
>>> everyone involved will sign up to count again. We had about 20 private 
>>> ranch properties open their gates last year, and are working to recruit 
>>> even more this year. As we expand our coverage area, additional team 
>>> leaders are needed to survey these new ranches. We may be making a few 
>>> adjustments on leader placement as we gain access to new properties, but we 
>>> are going to try and place team leaders from last year on the same 
>>> properties to facilitate familiarity with the sites as we continue this 
>>> event into the future.
>>>  
>>> This CBC is a pretty long with some strenuous terrain, often away from any 
>>> improvements. We start around sunup and go until close to sundown.  But the 
>>> opportunity to bird the canyon lands of the Texas Hill Country on private 
>>> ranches is a great experience.  A free count down dinner will follow that 
>>> evening.      
>>>  
>>> Specific information and details for the day (meeting time, location, etc) 
>>> will be sent out if you sign up, but we meet at TNC’s Love Creek Preserve 
>>> west of Medina, before daylight. 
>>>  
>>> Please contact Martin Hagne  martinhagne@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  of Rebecca Flack  
>>> rflack@xxxxxxx  if you are interested in assisting us with the 2014 count, 
>>> especially if you’re willing to lead a team! If you know of other qualified 
>>> birders who might be interested in serving as a team leader, please feel 
>>> free to extend this invitation on to them.
>>>  
>>> Thanks,
>>> Martin Hagne
