[cayugabirds-l] David Cup again

2014-01-22 Thread Richard Tkachuck
So it appears that there are no rules for this that are easily available. I
remember a few years ago someone wrote some rules that were posted on this
list. It defined the region, it said that hearing by ear was OK to list; I
think it said that, as I remember, that if one saw a Horned Screamer that
they had to tell the group about it; and I remember something about a
correction factor of some kind.

I would like to have some formal definition of the rules for the next issue
of the bird club newsletter. Perhaps if there are no formal rules, then
those who are playing might get together and arrive at some consensus.

I think this copy of the original 1995 rules is what you want, Richard:

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club Field Trip

2014-01-22 Thread wingmagic16
Hey All,

An invitation to join Bill Baker on Sunday for a half day field trip to where 
ever the birds may be, or are thought to be. Meet at the Laboratory of 
Ornithology parking lot at 8 AM.  Bill is copied here, please contact him for 
details if you need to. 

All are welcome to join Bill regardless of membership status or level of 
expertise.  It is always a good idea to bring your scope if you have one in the 
eventuality that water birding is involved  

Please note that Sunday is predicted to be an extremely cold day, especially at 
the start.  Dress very, very warmly, more layers than you ever thought you 
might need. Don't forget that birding involves much standing around and 
looking.  

As always, please check our website Cayugabirdclub.org, for the most up-to-date 
information about events.

Hope you can make it.

Best,
Linda Orkin
Field trip coordinator
