The Hoover Reservoir Christmas Bird Count (Delaware County) will be held Saturday, December 20, 2008. I will have several teams meeting at 8:00 AM in the parking lot off Sunbury Road at Hoover Dam to cover the east and west side of the reservoir. Additional teams will meet at Alum Creek State Park; Highbanks Metro Park (Check the winter issue of ParkScope or call the park naturalist to confirm the starting time), Sharon Woods Metro Park (meeting at 10:00 AM); and Camp Mary Orton. If you would like to join one of the teams other than those starting at Hoover Reservoir, give me a call at (614) 891-5706 or email me at [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) for details and to enable me to alert the area team leader to expect you. This is a good time to remind Christmas Bird Count Compilers and Participants that for the 2008 fall gun deer-hunting season, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has again extended the season to include extra weekends. ODNR added an extra weekend in deer gun season on December 20 and 21, 2008. If you participate in any area that may have hunters present you should wear something with Hunter Orange as a safety factor. The last thing you want to do is to wear a white hat or any other white apparel that could cause a hunter to think you are a white-tailed deer. May we all have a safe and productive Christmas Bird Count. Charlie Bombaci, Compiler Hoover Reservoir CBC Circle **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
