Bird count team members needed
The North American Bird Migration Count in Okaloosa and Walton Counties is sponsored by Florida Ornithological Society, and is supported by Choctawhatchee Audubon Society. Sept. 20 has been chosen to count as many migrants as possible before they reach their final destinations.
CAS Bird Count Coordinator, Don Ware will assign teams of volunteers of novice and advanced birders and nature lovers, even children are welcome to participate. Teams include at least one advanced leader a spotter and a data taker. Some teams will begin before dawn and will finish at dusk. Other teams will not contribute as much time to the count. There may be teams that spend part of the count day on a feeder watch and others that may count from a stationary point.
So even if you can't leave home or work, your help is needed. NAMC data will be posted to the CAS Web site with current and prior years' data being presented. Please contact Donald M. Ware at donware@embarqmail.com or 862-6582 to volunteer.
