This weekend is the Montezuma Muckrace, a 24-hour bird-a-thon to find as many bird species as possible within the 242-square-mile area that comprises the Montezuma wetlands complex. The Cayuga Bird Club will be sponsoring the "Arrogant Bustards" team in this year's Muckrace, with Susan Danskin, Ann Mitchell, Diane Morton, Gary Kohlenberg and Bob McGuire.
The Muckrace is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex to improve habitat restoration, public access, and avian research. A special project this year is to establish one or more Motus radio tracking towers within the complex, to be used for tracking migratory birds. You can read more about the Motus tracking system here: http://motus.org. If you'd like to make a donation in support of the Arrogant Bustards team (or any other team) for this fundraiser, you can do that online at the Montezuma Muckrace website: http://friendsofmontezuma.org/projects-programs/muckrace/ . Thank you!
