WANTED from DVOC members (and non- members):  
"COMMENTS FROM THE CBC."  If you participated in this year's Christmas Bird
Count, I'd like to hear about your experiences.  Please send me your
thoughts, comments, highlights or lowlights.  What  was your favorite bird
of the day, and why? Which bird was most challenging? Why did you sign-up
for this year's CBC? What was most enjoyable about the experience? Or did
you wish something were a little different?  I'd like to capture the
personal side of doing a day-long count in the wintertime.  It doesn't have
to be fancy, doesn't have to be funny.  Just a few quick sentences would be
great.  Email me at debbeer at hotmail.com, or call 610-955-4098.  Please
include your full name, and indicate the name of the count you participated
in.
