Come join us on Friday, December 14th, 2012 for the 28th annual San Bernard NWR
CBC. This unique count provides opportunities to bird areas of the refuge not
normally open to the public, including a newly-acquired tract along the west
end
of CR306, the Bludworth tract along Cocklebur Slough (2003 acquisition) and the
nearby McNeill tract which now boasts the official state champion Live Oak.
Also open for counters is the state's Nannie Stringfellow Wildlife Management
Area. We have rail buggy slots open for those hoping to see Yellow and
possibly
even Black Rails.
This count also claims some of the best hospitality around with the refuge
staff
providing an air boat, rail buggy, and 4WD trucks. We will have our historic
chefs, Ron Bisbee & Marty Cornell, heading up the team cooking the famous
countdown dinner of seafood gumbo! Although this count still provides the
small
count atmosphere, it has plenty of big count diversity with 190 or more species
most years. You can join us by contacting either of the co-compilers below or
by showing up at the refuge headquarters on CR306 at 0630 hours the morning of
December 14th. Contact the co-compilers Ron Weeks ronweeks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx(or
phone evenings 979-299-0066) or Jennifer Wilson Jennifer_Wilson@xxxxxxx(or
phone
daytime 979-964-4011) to sign up.
