2003-2004 CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNTS - Virginia
Dear VA-Birders,
Here is the CBC information I have received (so
far) from the compilers of the Virginia Christmas
Bird Counts. I am sorry for the gaps. There are
15 counts that I have not heard back from, but I
thought I should send what I know now since many
of you are probably making plans. I will send an
update in a couple of weeks. Please contact the
leaders of the counts you participated in last
year and let them know if you can help out again
this year, the sooner the better. If you want to
see last year's results, go to this website link
(cut and paste it into the address box):
http://audubon.birdsource.org/CBCOutput/circle_select.html?yr=103&statprov_code=US-VA
Compilers please let me know if I have made any
mistakes or if you want to add anything. Thanks
VERY much to all of you who sacrifice so much of
your time to organize these counts.
All the best,
HAVE FUN on your counts this year!
Fred Atwood
