Hi East-Bay Birders,
I am forwarding this email from SF Birds listserv. If you are interested in doing the SF CBC then please reply directly to Alan Hopkins at: ash@sfo.com
Dear e-mail Birdwatchers,The San Francisco Christmas Bird Count is scheduled for Tuesday, December 29. Please join us as we attempt to count all the birds from San Bruno to the Golden Gate. We are looking for people to count birds all day, in parks downtown at lunch, or in their yards. With the efforts of people who take a few minutes off to check the birds around their home or work site we can gain a much more accurate picture of our bird distribution. This year we are also offering an easy paced half day area for folks who aren't up to a full days birding. The half day team is in an area with great views and varied habitats.
Please complete the attached form and return it to us by Monday, December 7. Send the Completed form to:
Alan Hopkins
1200-15th Ave. #1
San Francisco, CA 94122San Francisco CBC areas usually fill early, we can not guarantee placement of people who apply after the deadline. Please direct inquires to Alan at (415) 664-0983 or e- mail ash@sfo.com
As far as we know the participant's fee will be $5.00, however that is subject to change based on information we will receive from National Audubon. Please pay your leader on the day of the count.
The countdown dinner will be held at the San Francisco County Fair Building (the Hall of Flowers), at 9th Ave. and Lincoln Way in Golden Gate Park. Because we are still trying to locate a caterer for the dinner, the dinner price has not been established. We hope to make dinner plentiful and affordable
Sincerely,
Alan Hopkins, Dan Murphy
