MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain ...or whoever else is interested in participating in the Triadelphia Reservoir Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, December 14. Triadelphia Reservoir is centered on Ashton, MD and covers the eastern part of Montgomery County, a southern section of Howard County, and just a tad of western Prince George's County. Because Daryl Olson is spending the next few years in Germany (poor guy), a sizeable portion of the center of Area 2 is going begging. Here's what we need--someone to cover the following area (which is, incidentally, large enough to easily absorb the attentions of two or more parties of birders): A. North of Spencerville Road (Rt. 198) B. South of the Patuxent River C. West of Rt. 29 D. Southeast of Tucker Lane. Triadelphia Reservoir has a great tally rally after dark at Meadowside Nature Center featuring chili and other goodies thanks to the Sussmans and the best part--there is no charge for this wonderful dinner thanks to Mike & Debi Klein of the Backyard Naturalist, in Olney. As usual there is a $5 per person fee which goes to National Audubon to help defray the costs of managing the massive influx of CBC data each year. Interested (even if your name ISN'T Susan)? ? ? Get in touch with me as soon as possible so I can chat with you about strategies for the area and send you count forms and directions to the tally rally. You can get me by calling me during the day at 202-691-5707, evenings at 301-989-9035, or via e-mail at marshhawk@att.net or saunders.norman@bls.gov. Looking forward to hearing from you!
