Hi Jay – Thanks for putting this message on IBLE… even though, of course, we all should be, we may not be aware or remembering the Golden Eagle events page! =)

And gosh, I was thinking the morning splash in the coffee could make for some interesting count numbers? You people will need to leave that mug in the car. hmmmm. Kidding

Happy morning. Happy birds! Excited to out and count, it’s been on my calendar! Come and count you guys – meeting the counters is almost as fun as finding the birds ~ tweet.

If you are interested, even if only for part of a day or a small area – including counting birds at your feeder, please contact Robert Magill (rmagill@wswildlife.com ) and myself (carlislejay@yahoo.com ) … especially if you know you would like to lead/co-lead a specific area. Robert is coordinating the pre-count efforts to ensure a smooth transition from the past compiler RL Rowland who provided years of help in the past.

Note that the events page and announcement in the Audubon e-newsletter says to meet at 630am but we’re changing it to 7am (what we’ve done in the past too) – thus, unless you’ve made arrangements with us ahead of time, see you ~7am on Saturday!

The Boise count circle is divided to provide all counters with an opportunity to count while walking and driving; remember to dress for the weather. We have a lot of habitat to cover, and we need birders to cover all of it. After the count we will meet up at the Trophy Room again for a potluck from 6-7:30 or so. Since this is a state-owned building, NO alcohol is allowed (sorry!).
