Dear Texbirders, Plans are underway for the 2015 Rusty Blackbird Blitz, a project designed to fill in critical data gaps for a boreal forest breeding bird with a precipitous population trend. This will be my second year as the Texas compiler and it would be helpful to have a co-compiler from East Texas to ensure we have good coverage in the core of the Rusty Blackbird winter range. The volunteer position would include program promotion and some communication with participants. In particular, we'd like to have more repeated visits to locations with Rusties. If you are potentially interested, please send me an email or call for more information. Here is a link to the project website in case you would like to learn more: http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/ Come on Beaumont, Port Arthur, Tyler, Longview, Huntsville, Nac', and Texarkana! Thanks, Richard _________________________________ [cid:image003.png@01D007CC.E61E4290] Richard E.
