Dear CBC Compiler :

Please help us celebrate the new millennium:
Enter your 100th count ON LINE & ON TIME!

ONLINE DATA SUBMITTAL SAVES TIME & PREVENTS ERRORS.

In return, we will send you a FREE, Prepublication copy of
David Sibley's Master Guide to the Birds of North America
scheduled to appear in the Fall of 2000.


TO GET YOUR FREE GIFT COPY:

1. Gather your count data together from your section leaders
as soon as possible; and

http://www.birdsource.org by January 31, 2000.

** Only compilers of counts submitted ON LINE & ON TIME will
receive this gift! **

Paper submissions must be post-marked January 22, 2000 to
guarantee publication in American Birds - CBC 100.

** This offer can not be extended to compilers submitting only

Remember, your PASSWORD is your last name. The ZIP CODE you

you were not the primary compiler for your count last year,
use the last name and/or zip code entered in the database
