Dear Tweeters:

Here are the preliminary results of the Oliver-Osoyoos Christmas Bird Count.
A very pleasant day, though not too many surprises. We were down a bit on
observers this year. Many thanks to Andy Stepniewski and Jay Desgrosilliers
for helping out with the Okanogan County part of the circle!

Please send any comments directly to me at "cannings at awinc.com"; my Tweeters
status is set to "postpone".

Regards,

Dick Cannings
