Earlier today the registration status of all 2017-18 Minnesota Birding Weeks & Weekends (MBWs) was posted on the MBWbirds.com <http://mbwbirds.com/> website, and this reflects all the registrations received since they were open for the season on December 3.
There were over 300 registrations submitted in all (most of these on the first day!), and confirmations of all these have been e-mailed to those registered. Accordingly, please be sure to contact me if you did not receive an e-mail regarding a MBW you registered for. As has been the case in recent years, some of the MBWeeks filled up immediately on the first day, as four of the six MBWeeks already have waiting lists; however, vacancies still remain on all but three of the MBWeekends. Also note there have been a few changes in the dates or locations for some MBWs since they were first published in the November MOU newsletter. Finally, some of those who search for MBWs on Google have seen a “This site may be hacked” notice under the mbwbirds.com <http://mbwbirds.com/> listing. However, there is no such message when you go directly to the website without Google, and the Bing and Yahoo search engines do not include it. Nothing suspicious is visible on the website, those checking for evidence of hacking have found nothing, and visitors to the site have not reported any difficulties. Efforts are ongoing to get this misleading statement removed. 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
