Hello all,

I wanted to let everyone know that we've added a new feature to our web
page which will allow us to keep track of all of the species that birders
report in Glen Helen over 2007.  It can be found online at
(www.glenhelen.org/science/2007birds.html).  Birders will be able to
report sightings via [log in to unmask]

There are 145 species of birds on the Glen Helen list.  However, that list
hasn't been updated in many years, and during that time, former farms have
become thickets, and former thickets have become mature woodlands.  I
imagine that skilled observers would be able to add a number of species to
our list, and I'm intensely curious to see how many species we'll find
over the course of next year.

To get our 2007 bird list off to a strong start, we've scheduled a bird
walk for January 1st.  Hope to see you there if you plan to be awake
before noon.  Here are the details:

10 am to 12 pm.
Monday, January 1, 2007
Walk starts and finishes at Trailside Museum
505 Corry St.
Yellow Springs, OH  45387

Happy holidays!
