>  And by next time, I will give you a link to our new website, courtesy of

> That is a Sunday this year but the Monday following is still a holiday.
> All members of the public are encouraged to participate and we are hoping

> You can begin at 12:01 a.m. on January 1 by listening for owls (although
> around 5AM may be better, that's when I've been hearing many recently) , or
> you can head out at dawn (or later, it's up to you) to tally resident

> you can snuggle in  at home and count birds at your feeders. As you can
> see,
> there are many options for participation and your input is invaluable at
> all
> levels.  We want to thank all of you in advance for your time and
> contribution.
>
> If you choose to stay home and count birds at your feeders, write down the
> total time you spend watching, the species seen, and the maximum number of
> birds of each species seen at any one time. This is the same protocol as
> Project Feederwatch.  Call the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at 254-2473
> between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. (no later, please!) to report your totals
> to
>  this year’s club volunteer, who has  yet to be named.

> Compilation Dinner
>
> At the end of the day, join other Christmas Bird Count (CBC) participants
> in
> the observatory of the Johnson Center, starting at 6:00 p.m., for a potluck
> supper at 6:30 p.m. followed by the compilation of sightings at 7:15 p.m.
>  Bring a dish to share, a beverage and your own table service. We are
> hoping that
> our count compiler will once again be,  Kevin McGowan, who always brings
> a fount of knowledge
> and a wonderful historical perspective to this endeavor.
