Greetings All, Please consider joining the Ulster/Dutchess (NYUD) CBC team on Saturday, December 28th 2013. The circle is centered in Glasco (Ulster County) and is nearly bisected by the Hudson River, including the mouth of the Rondout Creek and parts of Rhinebeck to the south and tiny portions of Greene and Columbia Counties to the north. There are ten sectors, several of which could have multiple field parties so there are many opportunities for interested volunteers. This will be the third go-around for this newish count. Our second effort improving to 92 species on count day as we gain familiarity and recognize productive areas and timely routes. Who knows what this year could bring! A post count compilation get together will be held in Kingston. If you would like to help (even as a feederwatcher) please contact me off list for more information or assignment. Happy and Healthy Holiday season and Good Birding too, Mark DeDea forsythnat...@aol.com (845) 399-1277 co-compiler NYUD CBC -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
