"I have 3 areas that are very good and need skilled birders in sparrows, warblers, rails and bitterns to form teams." The CBC is Fort Belvoir, which I greatly enjoyed participating in last time. A number of my favorite birding spots in northern Va. fall in this count circle. If you want to shake things up and visit someplace new, or if you already love it there and are free that day, then reply to compiler Kurt Gaskill at kurtcapt87@xxxxxxxxxxxx Lots of good birds and nice people are awaiting your reply. If Kurt thinks you won't need your own car you are welcome to ride with me from Bon Air. I do leave about 2 hours before the early start, so keep that in mind as you evaluate your skills and go over your schedule. The count date is Jan. 3rd, and here is the link Arun provided if you want to refer to it for planning: http://www.virginiabirds.net/cbc.html. Hope to see you there! Jan Richmond
