[TN-Bird] North American Migration Count - Saturday, May 12, 2007

Tn-birders,
Just a gentle reminder that the annual spring North American Migration Count 
(NAMC) is approaching. As always, it it conducted on the second Saturday in 
May, which is May 12 this year. This count is held in conjunction with 
International Migratory Bird Day. The count area for this count is any county. 
There are approximately 20 counts run every year. They are a fun way to help 
track our migrating and breeding birds. The results are compiled and published 
in our Tennessee Ornithological Society journal, THE MIGRANT. 

Most of the larger cities have counts for the county in which they are located. 
If you don't want to participate in any of these, consider going to a county 
that typically does not receive much coverage. If your county does not have a 
compiler, you are welcome to send your data to me by email or regular snail 
mail. If you are the only one in your county censusing the birds, please try to 
make a dedicated effort of at least 4-6 hours if you want the data published in 
our journal. I will keep records of all data I receive. 

All censusing efforts are greatly appreciated. Be safe and have fun!

Thanks,
Ron Hoff
