Hi Friends,
I hope you're enjoying the increasing signs of spring migration; it's
slowly ramping up. The next few weeks will bring a lot of new species back
from the tropics!....
The Birders Night Team---Bob & Jeannie Pollock, Stacy Burleigh, Liz Gayner,
Mark Hamm, Matt Hunter---have worked out some details for upcoming
gatherings. For 2015 we are going to do meetings every other month. We are
trying room 2 in April. We will get feedback from y'all again at the end of
this year about various details, but feel free to share your thoughts any
time. We are not organizing refreshments: if you want something to eat or
drink, bring it for yourself and/or to share if you like. No red,
carpet-staining liquids.
