> Hello all,
> 
> Due to weather concerns and low participation, the Whitefish Point  
> CBC that was scheduled for last weekend was cancelled, and the  
> leader, Skye Haas, will be downstate for the next couple weeks.
> 
> However, I did get the maps and data sheets from Skye before he left  
> town, and I am interested in getting the count done this weekend if I  
> can round up enough participants. I am free on either Saturday,  
> Sunday, or Monday.

> Here's what the Whitefish Point CBC is like. It is mostly forest,  
> with a little bit of lakeshore. A typical species count is around  
> 20-25. There is a chance at Gray Jay or Boreal Chickadee inland, and  
> there is always the chance of running into an unusual species or some  
> large finch flocks at the point. We do have use of a heated building  
> to stay in on the night before the count. It's a little crude, but  
> functional. Just bring a sleeping bag. Of course, you could always  
> get up early and drive to the point on the morning of the count. We  
> would probably count until mid-afternoon.

> This count has been going for 20 years, so it would be nice to not  
> have a break in the data set. If you are interested in participating  
> or have some questions you can e-mail or call me at 228-8781.
