Here it is: LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF SPRING! Hi Fran! Due to your help last year, we were able to create informative maps for our educational project that engages school age children in the study of global migrations. I'm writing from the Journey North Headquarters in Minnesota to ask your help again in tracking the migrations. Our students report sightings of many migrating animals to our Web site. Your sightings added to our map would create better patterns for migration studies. We are interested in: *Robin (first SEEN) *Robin (first HEARD singing) *Robin (wave SEEN) *Robin (OTHER observations) *Common Loon *Oriole *Red Wing Blackbirds *Barn Swallows Upon sighting any of the above in your area, please report directly to Journey North over the web or contact me promptly with the location and date . (Directions for direct report below.) Since naturalists may also appreciate our efforts in education, please share this with others interested in the state or region. Thanks so much for your help!
