Hi All, Piggy-backing on Colleen's message about the Cayuga Bird Club meeting on Monday. *Read below about an opportunity to donate binoculars.*
First, I promise that the talk will be fun and interesting even though it is based on real social science data. Second, if you have a pair of binoculars sitting around your house in good working order, but otherwise not being used much, please consider donating them to our cause. We've had high school students working here in Ithaca on our habitat restoration project, and we are going to be connecting them to students in Honduras working on conservation projects there. These projects benefit the exact same bird species at different times and places in their annual life cycle. In January, MPS student Mary McKean, who is working on the project with us, will be traveling to Honduras to meet with Bird Clubs and some school kids with whom they work. She is willing to deliver any binoculars we donate for the kids in Honduras to use. She will gladly collect any binoculars you want to donate Monday night. Thanks See you Monday! Jody Enck Jody W.
