Hi Folks, I hope many of you will attend the TOS winter meeting January 27 and 28 in Manchester. I hear that a lot of good work has gone into planning a great time. I can't wait to thank those folks personally for helping out all of TOS. You may be interested to know that the Tennessee Partners In Flight Monitoring Committee meeting will be Friday the 27th - the day before TOS meeting. It will take place from 9 to 5 central time in the meeting room at the Ambassador Inn This is an important meeting as it deals with the future direction of avian monitoring in the state. The meeting is open to those with an immediate stake in avian monitoring or an interest in helping to focus that direction. The meeting will be centered on the details of the CBM plan including: Direction of the plan Individual sections of the plan Necessary revisions and additions Schedule for future updates Website for the plan Partnerships Monitoring Sites Need for a CBM coordinator Combining CMB with IBA and other programs Additional needs Future meetings Other items concerning avian monitoring may be discussed if time allows.
