Don't miss the deadline (May 4) to RSVP for Dinner with Laura Erickson on
May 8. Proceeds benefit the Delaware Bird-A-Thon.
Laura has announced her plans for her big year and I wanted to share with
you her entry in her blog regarding her visit here.
Laura's Blog - I'll be spending the first and second weeks of May in and
around Delaware <http://www.delawarebirdingtrail.org/index.html> ‹Bombay
Hook <http://www.fws.gov/northeast/bombayhook/> and Prime Hook
<http://www.fws.gov/northeast/primehook/> National Wildlife Refuges, and
Cape Henlopen State Park <http://www.destateparks.com/park/cape-henlopen/>
(which has a protected beach area for nesting Piping Plovers!)‹and the
mid-Atlantic coast. This is one of the coolest invitations I've had so
far--I'll get to visit with people from the Delmarva Ornithological Society
<http://www.dosbirds.org/> and tag along with a team for their Bird-A-Thon.
If I do that, I'll be asking for pledges to help raise money for this
conservation-oriented fund raiser where ALL of the proceeds go towards
helping acquire or preserve vital migratory shorebird habitat in Delaware.
So far, they have raised over $193,000 and helped acquire 274 acres of
habitat in their first five years. This is EXACLY the kind of project I hope
to highlight!
