[birding] Willamette Valley Birding Trail brochure now available on the web

[joel]

Hello Birders,

On behalf of the Willamette Valley Birding Trail steering committee, I'm
very pleased to inform you that a web version of the Willamette Valley
Birding Trail guide is now available at:

http://www.oregonbirdingtrails.org/willamettevalley.htm

This is an initial version of the Trail Guide and website. We very much
look forward to comments and corrections from you, as birders who are
familiar with many of the sites listed in the Trail Guide.  SO PLEASE,
SEND ME YOUR COMMENTS AND CORRECTIONS AS YOU TRY THIS OUT IN THE
FIELD!!!

A full revision is planned prior to printing in late July, with
additional content on bicycle-birding routes, winery tours, and other
attractions along the Birding Trail. The website will also be improved
by adding supplementary content, including more information about our
sponsors who have supported the publication of this guide. 

Many of you have played key roles in the development of this guide. We
could not have reached this point without your help. We especially wish
to thank the many volunteers who helped by nominating and visiting
sites, photographers who donated their beautiful photographs, and our
financial sponsors who are listed at:

http://www.oregonbirdingtrails.org/wvsponsors.htm

On the volunteer end, I'd like to single out a few individuals in
particular. But I'm going to hold off since it's been a long day and I'm
afraid of leaving someone out by accident -- look for that on another
day. I do look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions on how
we can improve both the Trail Guide and this website, during the coming
month.

Thank you and happy birding,
Joel
