[EBB Sightings] Winter Bird Study

 From Birdchat:

Still not too late to join me and others in North America in doing a 
Winter Bird Population Study of your local winter resident birds (on a 
plot, wooded, suburban, grassland, whatever is convenient). It takes one 
pre-work or weekend brief morning walk till February if you can afford 
the time. Contact Jim Lowe, jdl6 at  cornell.edu, 1-800-843-BIRD, x 2413, 
from The Cornell Lab, for forms/information. Your study will be 
published in IBPS's BIRD POPULATIONS. Weekly bird counts are 
statistically more accurate than single annual counts of a local bird 
community. Part of a long-term database leading at least back to 1940, 
probably well before. The Passenger Pigeon was a common bird once. Thank 
you for your conservation consideration, yours sincerely, Grant.
