Dear Fred,
I talked with Ryan Lesh this morning and then saw your e-mail when I
returned home this evening. It sounds like a great opportunity and I
would love to participate. I have one summer's experience doing breeding
bird surveys in northern Minnesota. Ryan and I will be living on the
Eastern Shore this summer and this certainly sounds like a good chance
for some extra money as well as more experience. Please write back if
there are any openings you know of on the Eastern Shore (I see there are
no Delaware routes).
Thanks,
Gary Dodge
