Dr. Russell,

i remember that we found a couple of the nets with some big holes in them. if you want, I could take a whack at repairing them for you. I'd just need the sewing supplies and the nets

Greetings!
Spring is upon us!!! Check out how far the hummingbirds have made it—they will probably be here in about 10 more days!! [http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html]
Chimney Swifts are coming too!! [http://www.concentric.net/~dwa/page188.html]
In the last three or four days, I’ve had the opportunity to take several groups out and it is amazing how quickly birds are appearing!!
I haven’t had the opportunity to get my (remaining) net lanes in order yet, nor had the chance to make a few new ones, although I was able to get the bulldozed area seeded last week. At any rate, I will probably use Thursday this week to work at the banding station and then commence banding either Sat or next Tues [probably Tues]. I’ll send out a note at the end of the week.

I have only heard from Victorious Egret in the Chili Challenge (although there was a veiled reference on the Cincy Hotline from the Bird Brains). Please send your updates—things are about to get very interesting!!
Cheers
Dave
