[BCNnet] Orland Grassland Bird Event

[Judy Pollock]

I'm passing this message along on behalf of the Orland Grassland 
volunteers, and encourage you to visit this beautiful spot at the height of 
its glorious birdiness...

The Orland Grassland Volunteers are planning their very first official 
spring grassland bird count, and we need you!  Whether you are an 
experienced birder or new and curious, you are very welcome to be a part of 
this important, grand event.  We need leaders and those wanting to learn.
