They are now in the process of preparing for this year's event. The School's Ecology Corps also monitors Bluebird Nesting boxes on the school property (21 hatches in the last 4 years), has set up a small wetlands area, maintains 2 nature trails adjacent to the school property, participates in the Chester River water monitoring effort, and has students doing science projects on submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). But I digress from birding ... Jim Wilson Proud parent of a CMS birder Whose 12 year old son wants a Kowa scope for his 13th birthday...he would also take a Swarovski.

Though only 18, I have become hooked on birding, and (some may say excessive) listing. Just letting you know that there are young birders out there. > > Matt Hafner > College Park, MD > > ======================================================================= > To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com > with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey > ======================================================================= ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
