[birding] Birding calendar & motorless birding updates

[Joel Geier]

Hello folks,

As 2009 winds down, there are still a few Christmas Bird Counts that you
can join. A tree-planting event is also planned for Snag Boat Bend next
Saturday, Jan 9. For more info please visit:

If you're starting to anticipate post-CBC bird deprivation disorder,
hopefully the list of spring migrants just a few rows down the calendar
will bring some cheer.

Randy Campbell informs me that his amazing motorless year effort is
finished, with Varied Thrush as the last of 210 bird species (who
would've thought!). You can see how it came out at:

We're still waiting for a year-end report from other motorless
participants -- good luck if you're out bicycling in this weather!

Tomorrow's a new day and a new year, looking forward to see what it
brings!

Happy birding in the New Year,
Joel
