: Re: [NatureNS] Spring Migration Bird Count -- WHERE IS THE =0AINFO?=0AHi =
everyone: =0A=0AI took a quick break from marking exams to clear out my Nat=
ureNS folder and =0Acame across this thread.=0A=0AThe information about the=
 count (along with the forms) has been on the cork =0Aboard section of the =
NSBS web site for as long as I can recall. I have just =0Aupdated the field=
 trip information listing about that and included a link to the =0Acork boa=
rd.=A0=0A=0AI will be mentioning the NSMC in the next e-mail note to all me=
mbers, which =0AI had hoped to get out by the end of the day, as the NSMC l=
ists have been =0Aupdated in terms of taxonomy, the change of a species nam=
e to common gallinule, =0Aand to use the Canadian spelling of "gray" throug=
hout. Since I just got the new =0Aforms on the site today, I didn't want pe=
ople to use the old ones without =0Aknowing that new ones were available.=
=0A=0AWith regard to the society's facebook page, there has been a boldface=
 note =0Aat the top of the NSBS page, saying that we can now be found on Fa=
cebook, for =0Asome time. I mentioned it at the end of last year in one of =
my e-mail notes to =0Athe membership, and it was in my president's report w=
hich should have been in =0Athe issue of NS Birds that just went out, but i=
t seems to have missed that =0Aissue.=0A=0AAs to the listing in the Blomido=
n Naturalist Society's website, I'm the =0Achair of the BNS program committ=
ee and that announcement gets put in every year, =0Awith just the local inf=
ormation.=A0=0A=0AIn any case, all of the information is now available, and=
 should be known =0Ato most NSBS members a month before the actual event.=
