[BCNnet] America's Bird Trek 2006 tomorrow (no sightings)

[casresearch at comcast.net]

Dr. Jeffrey Wells, Keynote Speaker at the CAS Birding America conference earlier this year, and
very active in the effort to protect North American Boreal Birds, asked if I would post the following.

Teachers might be interested in getting their classrooms interested.

AMERICAS' BIRD TREK 2006 

 From the Andes to the Boreal 

Birders may be interested in tuning in to a live Internet virtual fieldtrip 
called Americas Bird Trek that will start in Ecuador and travel to 
western Mexico and Cape May before ending in the heart of the Boreal forest 
in northern Alberta. Classrooms from across the U.S. (including one from the 
Chicago area) and Canada will be participating to learn about the migratory 
birds that connect us across the hemisphere and will have the opportunity to 
ask questions of the educators at each field trip location. 

The event will take place tomorrow (Thursday, May 25th) at 1:00 EST, although 
it will also be archived for viewing whenever is convenient. 

A link to the live Quicktime streaming broadcast of the 'Americas Bird 
Trek' will be available at: www.borealbirds.org  

You can also find more information by clicking on the Americas Bird Trek 
button at www.borealbirds.org
