The MBWbirds website (http://mbwbirds.com) was updated last night, November 16, with the new 2014-15 Minnesota Birding Weekends & Weeks (MBW) schedule, which includes the descriptions and past summaries of all MBWs along with MBWeek cost estimates. A reminder that the opening day of registrations is tomorrow, November 18 (i.e., the first day that registrations for the 2014-15 MBW season can be postmarked).
Also please note: - Some MBWs can become filled months in advance; this is especially true of some MBWeeks which could even be filled with waiting lists after the first day. - A day was added to the Central California MBWeek (now August 9-18, 2014 to accommodate the Shearwater Journeys pelagic schedule); similarly, it is possible that the dates may have to be adjusted on the Newfoundland and Washington MBWeeks. - Another pre-MBW option was added to the schedule (October 29 / Duluth); it is also possible that a pre-Washington MBWeek option will be scheduled (September 11-12 / Mt. Ranier). - Finally, there are still vacancies on 3 of the remaining MBWs in the 2013-14 schedule: the Southern California and South Texas I MBWeeks, and the Duluth III MBWeekend. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks! -Kim Kim Richard Eckert 218 349 5953 [email protected] http://www.mbwbirds.com (Note: This is the 28th season of MBWs, which are offered in association with the MOU – we were originally known as MOU Birding Weekends. The MOU annually receives a portion of MBW receipts in return for these schedule and registration updates on mou-net and in the MOU 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
