>
>
> Dear friends,
>
> We at the American Birding Association want to HELP you with any of your
> bird-oriented volunteer projects.
>
> ABA will be publishing its twelfth annual "Opportunities for Birders"
> volunteer directory in February 2003. We will also post the directory on
> our web site in 2003. More than 3,500 people each month read the web
> directory. We are now gathering opportunities that people, such as you,
> may
> have to offer next year. The directory will list bird-related volunteer
> opportunities in the United States, with many listed for Canada, and
> some
> for Latin America and elsewhere.
>
> THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE LISTING...
>
> Do you have a bird project in 2003 dealing with youth?  With seniors?
> On a
> National Wildlife Refuge?  At a bird observatory or hawkwatch? At a
> National Park?  At a local park? At a state wildlife management area?
> Does
> it deal with a breeding bird atlas? Are you doing a bird inventory for
> appropriate signage along a trail? Are you shorebird monitoring? Are you
> going to survey breeding birds in a particular habitat? Are you looking
> for
> help in a bird-ID course at you local nature center? Do you need to
> create,
> maintain, and/or monitor a birdbox trail? Boxes for species from owls,
> to
> Wood Ducks, to bluebirds, to Purple Martins, to Prothonotary Warblers?
>
> If it's a bird-related volunteer project you may be involved in, we are
> interested in listing it!
>
> To include your bird-oriented projects in the 2003 directory, ABA will
> need
> your listings in the next two weeks -- by Friday, October 25th.
>
> The directory now receives extensive coverage in the birding scene and
> in
> newspapers across North America and Europe. This publicity, and the
> directory's presence on our web site, guarantees that the opportunities
> offered will reach far beyond ABA's membership of more than 21,000
> enthusiastic and skilled birders.
>
> You can submit your request by completing the form on our ABA web site:

> If you have other questions, please contact Arlene Hall ([log in to unmask] or
> 1-800-850-BIRD ex. 235)
>
> Finally, if you've gotten more than one request for this effort, please
> excuse us. On the other hand, if you haven't gotten this request before,
> please share it with others in your organization whose projects would
> also
> be in need of bird-volunteers.
>
> Thanks!
