Greetings All:
I just took a quick look at the calendar and, assuming I have got the Saturdays
and Sundays right, the three Lubbock area CBCs will be held on the following
dates. Weather conditions this year have, once again, been unfavorable for
birds in general but have been VERY
FAVORABLE for the concentration of birds at the few remaining refugia.
What this means for the counts is that there should be a chance at some
really nifty birds at the more than twenty riparian areas within the
Lubbock County CBC circle and that, one again, there is outstanding potential
for
the best winter birding in the entire region at White River Lake.
LUBBOCK COUNTY CBC - Saturday, 15 December 2012. We meet with team leaders at
an agreed upon location, bird from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and will then meet at a
yet to be determined locale
for a potluck supper and countdown at 5:00 PM - the countdown to start at 6:00
PM if humanly possible. To do this count well, I need eight team leaders and
at least twenty counters.
MULESHOE NWR CBC - Sunday, 16 December 2012. We meet at refuge headquarters at
7:30 AM, bird from then until roughly noon or so (it is an area restricted
count and does not take terribly long to cover), and meet back at
headquarters for a potluck lunch (often leftovers from the potluck the evening
before; stews and chili and such) and countdown. To do
this count well I need four team leaders and at least ten counters.
WHITE RIVER LAKE CBC - Saturday, 29 December 2012. We meet at the White River
Lake Marina at 7:30 AM, bird from then until around 5:00 PM, and meet back at
the marina for a hot dinner at the
diner; countdown to start at 6:00 PM so that we can get out of the
restaurant in a timely fashion. To do this count well, I need five team
leaders and at least twelve counters.
There will be no CBC fees this year - but there is a lake fee at the White
River Lake CBC; for those who are on the lake teams.
.
If you are interested in participating in any of these counts, please contact
Anthony Hewetson at terrverts@xxxxxxxxx or at 806-252-1213. Every observer is
appreciated and every team sees nifty birds.
