[leeramsey at comcast.net]

The final bird monitoring workshops for 2008, organized by the Bird Conservation Network and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, will be held on Saturday, March 29 (NOT March 22 as reported in The Compass!), and Saturday, April 5, both noon until about 4 pm. The March 29th workshop will be held at Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington, and the April 5th workshop is in the South Shore Cultural Center in Chicago. Birding by ear presentations will be conducted by Carolyn Fields at Crabtree and Conrad Fialkowski and Kurt Leslie at South Shore (both noon to 1 pm). The workshops will also include discussions of monitoring practices by experienced monitors, advice from land managers and stewards, and an instructional session for beginning monitors (3-4 pm). All interested persons, including current monitors, prospective monitors, land managers, stewards, and those simply interested in bird monitoring, are invited. More information is available on the BCN website (www.bcnbirds.org)
. If you plan to attend any of these workshops, please let us know in advance by calling Judy Pollock at 847-965-1150, ext 21, or emailing at chicagowildthings at yahoo.com.
