Friends in Birding- March 31 was the conclusion of our 6 month "window" for collecting Minnesota bird travel related expenses. Many of you have already given me your information, but others asked I remind you at the end of March.
There has been some confusion, but we do NOT want to limit this to owl expense travel only. This time period goes all the way back to Oct. so would include trips to see Clark's Nutcracker, etc. Estimates on costs are better than no data at all. Thanks to everyone for their help, information, and all the kind words of support. I expect to have a final tally between $180,000-$200,000. We will then extrapolate data after we review/cross reference other lists of names. This should bring our "grand total" well beyond the $500,000 mark. I will keep people appraised of numbers and will submit a final report as promised. Randy Frederickson
