The big problem is that many of us have to work during the week, and so weekday counts don't attract many participants, and there are only so many weekends.

Roger lists no less=20 than 24 counts on the December 20! And almost all the counts this year are=20 on Saturdays, too. What about Sundays? Many of the more avid birders already counting somewhere would be glad to do=20 an additional count or two if they were not all on the same day! I am=20 committed to 3 CBCs this year (one down, two to go), including one on the=20 20th, but see at LEAST 5 other counts I would be interested in doing all on=20 the same day. Several of these were asking for more participants. Rather frustrating. My thoughts, Jim in South Mpls. 'If all the animals were gone, we would die from loneliness of spirit, for=20 whatever happens to the animals soon happens to us. We are part of the=20 earth, and it is a part of us. This we know: all things are connected like=20 the blood which unites one family. Man did not weave the web of life; he is=20 merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.'
