[mou] Minn Birding Weekends update

[Eckert K R]

Following is the status of the trips on the 2008-09 Minnesota Birding 
Weekends (MBW) schedule as of today, January 11. Note that a couple of 
the MBWs are already filled with waiting lists and that others are 
close to being filled.

You'll find additional information about each MBW (including the 
registration procedure and a form) on the MOU website 
(http://moumn.org/trips.html), on Bob Ekblad's website 
(http://www.birding-minnesota.com/MN-MBW.htm), and in the current issue 
of the MOU's newsletter, Minnesota Birding.

Also a reminder that Minnesota Birding Weekends are now part of the MOU 
field trips schedule, and the MOU has other field trips coordinated by 
Field Trips Chairman Bob Williams (bxwilliams at cbburnet.com). The 
schedule of these trips appears along with MBWs on the MOU website 
(http://moumn.org/trips.html).

Please be sure to contact me if you have any questions.
