Hi Everybody,
The date of the Kent County May Bird Count is fast approaching. At
present we know of only two teams ready to cover as much of the whole
county as feasible so there's plenty of territory to hand out to folks
who would like to count birds here this Saturday (11 May). The count is
similar procedurally to a Christmas Bird Count (CBC). We will attempt to
locate and keep track of the numbers of all bird species we can find on
the 11th. It's preferable to be in the field all day, but partial days
are okay. May counters also need to keep track of their hours on foot
and in the car and their miles for both walking and driving.
The range of productive bird habitats in Kent County is broad including
open farmland, small freshwater ponds, the fairly extensive deciduous
and mixed woods to the east around Millington and Golts and down the
necks, the loblolly pine-oak woods along the Chester, and Bay, creeks,
and marsh. Last year the count tallied 119 bird species despite the
compilers having to travel to New England on count day. Please contact
us at the number listed below or via e-mail if you would like to take on
a territory or bird with us on the eleventh.
Good Birding,
Nancy Martin & Walter Ellison

Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time
you take a walk.
