Earlier today, the MBWbirds.com <http://mbwbirds.com/> website was updated, which includes a preview of the 2018-19 schedule of the Minnesota Birding Weeks & Weekends (MBWs). (This schedule was also included in the November-December issue of the MOU newsletter: see http://moumn.org/newsletter/issues/2017-11.pdf <http://moumn.org/newsletter/issues/2017-11.pdf>.) Also note that the registration procedure for all MBWs will change significantly, with all registrations sent by e-mail (and no longer by U.S. mail), and no payment of MBW fees or deposits required at the time of registration.
The complete descriptions and previous summaries of all the 2018-19 MBWs will be published on the MBWbirds website on NOVEMBER 19. The opening day of MBWeeks registrations (one per day maximum) will be NOVEMBER 20, and the opening day of MBWeekends registrations (no limit per day) will be NOVEMBER 27. Please note as well that a summary of the recent North Shore MBWs is included (see http://mbwbirds.com/north-shore.html <http://mbwbirds.com/north-shore.html>), along with the summaries of all the completed MBWs of the 2017-18 season. In addition, the “Birding By Hindsight” articles (http://mbwbirds.com/birding-by-hindsight.html <http://mbwbirds.com/birding-by-hindsight.html>) have been compiled into book form, and the recently released 3rd printing features new front and back covers of the book. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

MBW participants are still expected to be members of MOU, which receives a portion of MBW receipts in return for these updates on mou-net and in the newsletter.) ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
