Hello:
I sent a similar posting a month or so ago and I am still getting =
requests to participate in the MOU Winter Field Trip coming this Feb. =
14-15.
I have no fewer than 43 people coming on this field trip and I have 10 =
people on the waiting list!! I have 3 co leaders and myself. We are =
broken into two teams and each will have 2 leaders on a team. We will be =
birding the same places but at different times. We are all car pool up =
thru email and each car has a radio.
NEXT year I will organize two winter field trips for 2005 as I had no =
idea that northeastern Minnesota weather doesn't bother anyone! I have =
one guy coming in from Hawaii and have at least 4 other parties from =
other states coming along.=20
I am truelly sorry for having to do this but there is no way I could =
organize a group of 50-60 birders. If I could I would have a winter =
birding festival here in Duluth. Hmmmm nice idea.
Check out the Minnesota Ornithologist Union web site for all the up and =
coming field trips for 2004. I would try to make arrangements and reply =
to me and tell me what trip or trips you would like to attend (other =
than this winter trip) before they fill up.
Because of the large size in this field trip coming up doesn't take away =
fro seeing winter birds as many of them are at feeders or they busily =
feeding and take no notice of us while we view them. Plus all my leaders =
have experience handling large groups of birders and will make sure =
everyone sees there target species.
Thanks again
