Dave, Take a look at this link; it shows the CBCs and contact information for the compilers: http://www.wsobirds.org/wso_christmas_bird_counts.html If you find one that is of interest and is close enough for you, contact the compiler and they'll tell you what to do. Or just contact the Milwaukee area compilers (Milwaukee CBC and Hales Corners CBC) on the list if you want the closest ones. William P.

As I am under employed for another week or so, I am very interested in volunteering for a CBC. I have never participated before in one, and I work or sleep every moment during the weekends (Fridays-Sunday). > So, if anyone is in need of a non-experienced CBC'er and semicompetent birder Monday through Thursday, with promise of fantasically sexy birds and hopefully within a couple hour drive of Milwaukee, back channel me. > David Flores > South Milwaukee > P.S. > I did a short (in the car) look for birds in Grant Park this morning, here's what I saw (15 species). > 25 Robins > 15 starlings > 6 Cardinals > 4 chipping sparrows > 3 crows > 4 blue jays > 1 redwing blackbird > 6 junco > 4 house sparrow > 1 gold finch > 30 canada geese > 6 ring billed gull > 12 mallard > 1 red bellied woodpecker > 2 WB nuthatch > > > > > #################### > You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn). > To UNSUBSCRIBE or SUBSCRIBE, use the Wisbirdn web interface at: //www.freelists.org/list/wisbirdn. > To set DIGEST or VACATION modes, use the Wisbirdn web interface at: //www.freelists.org/list/wisbirdn. > Visit Wisbirdn ARCHIVES at: //www.freelists.org/archives/wisbirdn. > #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
