Hi Darlene, I will try to make it on the 29th. I appreciate the offer and willingness to teach. I live in Pataskala 20 miles east of Cols, (and sometimes in S. Cols just south of German Village), and I work in Hebron 40 miles east of Cols. I have a rental house in Newark 30 miles NE of Columbus. Is there an eastside team that would be much less driving? Or is there a groups in the Pataskala - Newark - Hebron (incl. Granville) triangle?? thanks very much for the reply, pax, cheers, judojoe Joe D Phillips Cols & Pataskala -----Original Message----- From: Darlene Sillick [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2007 1:07 PM To: 'Joe Phillips' Subject: RE: [Ohio-birds] Columbus CBC postponed Hi Joe, I am a CBC compiler and have my count on Sat Dec. 29 for the OHOS area. I have from the west side of Powell to east of Marysville and points north to Rt 36 and south to north Dublin. Let me know if you want to help us over in the north west area of town and I'll get you on a team so you can learn about CBC's we always need more eyes and energy. Or I'm sure you will hear from Rob and maybe you can count birds that visit your backyard feeder on Dec. 30. Thank you for your interest and try to come out on some of Columbus Audubon's field trips. It is a great way to learn more and make some new birding friends. Kind regards, Darlene Sillick Columbus Audubon, president and CBC compiler -----Original Message----- From: Ohio birds [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joe Phillips Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2007 12:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] Columbus CBC postponed Hi Rob, Maybe I could go along on this trip on the 30th. I am new to birding and all that I know is from this chatline. But I do go out and look at birds and sometimes even can identify them. (One or two at a time after searching through the books). I am really an outdoor person who has always wanted to learn birds but had no path forward. I am amazed when I see these email reports with hundreds of species of birds!!! pax, cheers, judojoe Joe D Phillips Columbus & Pataskala -----Original Message----- From: Ohio birds [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of rob thorn Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 9:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [Ohio-birds] Columbus CBC postponed With more dangerous weather facing central Ohio for much of tomorrow, the Columbus CBC has been postponed until Dec 30. May you all stay safe, dry, and warm during this period (hopefully keeping an eye on your feeders).
