Dear Tennessee Birders - The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is asking people across the continent to "Celebrate Urban Birds!" by participating in science, art, and literature activities focused on birds for the month of July. Urban Bird Studies engages city dwellers across the continent in bird-watching activities to help scientists learn how birds live in city neighborhoods. During the Celebration, citizen scientists across the continent can ?meet? scientists at the Lab through chat rooms and participate in Urban Bird Studies projects and related activities. During July 9 ?18, you can spend one hour or up to 10 whole days participating in activities and projects described in the materials you receive when you sign up. It?s FREE! To join in the Celebration you can choose to participate in "experiences" described on the web site and in a free booklet you get when you sign up. These include learning about birds in cities, conducting Urban Bird Studies projects, "eMeet Lab Scientists," birds in art and literature, design your own project, report your data, and summary of your experience. In addition to the Celebrate Urban Birds! booklet, you also get Crows Count project materials, Birds in the City project materials, Access to the ?Meet the Scientists ? Internet activities, and a Special Celebration issue of PigeonScope mailed in the fall. We could really use the data from Tennessee ,so I hope you will be able to help us. If you would like to participate, sign up at www.birds.cornell.edu/urbanbirds. If you have questions, contact urbanbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please feel free to share this information with others; if you do forward this e-mail to other appropriate lists you are on, please copy me as well.
