Attention Birders!!!
What can be better than a day of birding on a beautiful weekend in May? =
How about if that day of birding is helping to raise money for Hawk =
Ridge in Duluth? The annual Hawk Ridge Birdathon and St. Louis Big Day =
count is approaching. This activity helps to raise much-needed funds =
for Hawk Ridge, and gives birders a chance to compete against other =
teams to see who can find the most species of birds in a 24 hour =
period).=20
The information below explains the Birdathon in more detail. All =
inquiries should be directed to Terry Wiens at t.wiens@lsc.mnscu.edu , =
or you can use the address given at the end of the message (although, =
considering the date, it's advisable to use e-mail). =20
Take advantage of this opportunity to help one of Minnesota's unique =
birding treasures and to meet other birders, all while birding in one =
of Minnesota's best "hotspots". Start by raising pledges today, or =
else plan to support a team with a pledge of your own. =20
Thanks for your support of Hawk Ridge.

Following is the information provided by Terry Wiens ( REMEMBER: DIRECT =
ALL INQUIRIES TO HIM! ):
SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL HAWK RIDGE BIRDATHON
AND ST. LOUIS COUNTY BIG DAY
Midnight-Midnight =20
Saturday, May 17, 2003 =20
** Birders of all levels of ability are invited to form or join one of
the birding teams attempting to find as many species as possible in St.
Louis County on May 17, 2003. The winning team will receive the honor of
being the Hawk Ridge Birdathon Champions for the year---perhaps the
record of 177 species will even be broken!
** Everyone, whether or not they are on one of the birding teams, is
encouraged to pledge or solicit pledges based on the number of birds
seen on May 17, with all proceeds for the benefit of the programs and
research at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve.
** Everyone is also invited to our Sunday Birdathon Brunch on May 18,
when the species on the Big Day will be added up and the trophy
awarded.
** The Birdathon is more than just fun---it is an important means of
raising funds for Hawk Ridge programs. Thus we ask each team member to
solicit at least $20 in pledges or contribute $20 as a participation
fee. Only those who meet this requirement will be eligible to win the
trophy! Others are still welcome to participate unofficially.
For more information about this annual rite of spring---the Big Day
birding teams, the pledges, the Birdathon Brunch---please contact Terry
Wiens, 3230 Strand Rd., Duluth, MN 55803 (e-mail:
