[mou] Good start

Birding Expenses-

It is official; I have received 100 e-mails, representing 290 birders,  from
22 states and 3 foreign countries.  The expenses accrued thus far....
well heck, I'm not telling until we break $100,000.

Some great honesty on misc. expenses.  My favorite is probably the $200
spent on the tow truck after driving into the ditch while looking for an
owl, and the money SEVERAL of you lost at the casinos:-)

All in all, I can say MANY people have had a wonderful time looking at
birds.  And what you are doing by helping the MOU conservation committee on
this project is giving back.  We thank you.
