This 39th annual count will be January 1. We will again meet at Paul Rushing Park at 6:00 am. It is on Katy-Hockley Road in west Harris County. (Directions<http://www.pct3.hctx.net/parks/pauldrushing.aspx>). If you have participated before, please contact your area leader directly. If you are new to the count or would like to switch areas we will put you with the group of your choice in the morning. Anyone going with the KPC groups MUST sign a release or they cannot enter KPC property. It will save time if they bring a signed copy of the release form (<http://katyprairie.org/events.html>)with them. Beginners are welcome as are advanced birders and all skill levels in between. Everyone can participate and contribute. The countdown dinner will be at Luby's in Cypress. Most people will be able to reach this location about 30 minutes after you leave your area. Please shoot to arrive about 6:30 but don't miss that last bird you are chasing! We will wait on all leaders before we start the countdown. Sorry you have to buy your own supper.
