Hi everyone,
Once again this year, I'll be visiting various preserves of the Finger Lakes Land Trust over Memorial Day weekend, leading public bird walks, and raising pledge money per species found on the various preserves. We call this effort the Finger Lakes Land Trust Spring Bird Quest (SBQ). Since its inception in 2006, the Spring Bird Quest has raised more than $20,000 in support of the Land Trust's efforts to preserve vital habitat for the birds we love. Please contact me if you'd like to pledge or if you'd like to count species and try to raise funds yourself. Thank you for your consideration! Also, this weekend, I'll be leading a special walk for kids at the Land Trust's Park Nature Preserve. This and all SBQ events are free. Please see below for details on all the walks. Many sincere thanks for your consideration. I hope to see many of you out on the trails this month!
