TN-birders,
Saturday, May 8th, is count day for the upcoming NAMC (always the second 
Saturday in May). This will be the 14th consecutive NAMC for our state. This 
count is an important one day "snapshot" of our bird population. Consider 
helping out on one of the counts with somebody else or try a count area on your 
own. Every county is a count area.

Please use the normal count criteria for all Tennesse bird counts. Keep track 
of the species and total numbers for them. Please also keep track of the effort 
data such as hours and miles by foot, car, and any owling. Feeder/yard watching 
is encouraged and appreciated. These data are kept separately from the normal 
"field" birding. Also keep track of the start and end times for your count and 
the weather conditions for the day, such as wind, rain, temperatures, etc.

Safety is FIRST. If there are abnormal weather conditions during or before your 
count, please be aware of high water, high winds, etc.

The results should be turned into your county's count compiler. If there is no 
county compiler, please email or snail mail the results to me at the address 
below. 

Most of all, HAVE FUN!

Good Luck!
