I have been asked to pass this request on to the MOU birding community. Please help if you can. Thanks. Rubin Stenseng MOU Member and State Parks Volunteer
Request follows: The Parks and Trails Division of Minnesota DNR is launching a new Avian Adventure Geocaching Challenge this summer, with 75 caches at state parks and trails. Each cache has a different bird species card to learn from. We see this as a great way to introduce new users to bird watching. While I have many of the bird species needed for this project, there are a few I haven’t found. I wondered if anyone in MOU has a photo or two that they might be willing to let us use. I don't have any compensation to offer except your name in print on the back of the card, and a copy of the final card sent to you. I have a quick deadline, and am hoping to collect the species I need by Feb. 24. Close-up images that are 300 pixels per inch and at least 4 x 6inches in size are best. Images or questions can be e-mailed to [email protected] • Winter wren • Great crested flycatcher • Olive-sided flycatcher • Black-billed magpie • Purple finch • Purple martin • Cliff swallow • Golden-crowned kinglet • Eastern meadowlark • Northern parula • Blue-winged warbler • Louisiana waterthrush • Whip-poor-will • Black-billed cuckoo • Blue grosbeak Thank you in advance and have a great week-Jenni Webster, Interstate State Park Interpretive Naturalist ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
