The format will be as in previous years; tally of species and numbers on a mile-by-mile basis using the mileposts along the towpath. This is a DC Audubon event, realized over its 184.5 mile length by a multi-regional and multi-organizational effort. The coordinators are Mike Milton, phone 202-543-6673, email mikemilton@attglobal.net, and Peter Vankevich who founded the count, 202-547-4523, pvank@cais.net. A review of the 2001 count is at http://www.dcaudubon.org/articles.htm#survey. We will be individually emailing prior participants and interested persons, but please don't wait to contact Mike or Peter and let us know if you are available on Jan. 26th, and if you want to cover the same, or more, or fewer, or other mile-sectors. As with Christmas counts, participants not sure of their ID abilities are very welcome, and will be teamed up with experienced birders. We hope this will again be an enjoyable event, and that the weather won't be as problemtic as in 1999-2000-2001.
