There was a recent update of the MBWbirds website (http://mbwbirds.co <http://mbwbirds.com/>m), which includes the registration status of the Minnesota Birding Weeks & Weekends (MBWs) remaining on this season’s schedule, along with the summaries of the completed MBWs. Although all the MBWeeks are currently filled, there are still vacancies on most of the remaining MBWeekends.
In addition, several updates have been added to the Birder’s Guide to Minnesota section, which is now divided into four more manageable pages. Also, the Minnesota Sewage Ponds page cites the new and very useful link on the MOU website (http://moumn.org/avian/overlay.php <http://moumn.org/avian/overlay.php>), which includes maps to all 400 sewage ponds now listed on this page; note that the MBWbirds.com list does not include several non-municipal ponds found in the MOU website’s compilation. Finally, note that the “Birding by Hindsight” series of articles have been compiled into book form, and all the author’s royalties are donated to Friends of Sax-Zim Bog (http://saxzim.org <http://saxzim.org/>). As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

MBW participants are still expected to be members of MOU, which receives a portion of MBW receipts in return for these updates on mou-net and in the newsletter.) ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
