Folks,

We have about a week and a half before our Lyle Christmas Bird Count. We
are maintaining the same sectors as last year ( Catherine Creek, Silva
Creek, Klickitat Canyon-High Prairie, Columbia Hills, Dallesport, The
Dalles, Rowena, Mosier Creek).

Please let me know if you are interested. Last year we were the only
Christmas Count circle east of the Cascades in Washington or Oregon to have
more than 100 species. We also had more Lewis's Woodpeckers than any other
Count Circle (in the Western Hemisphere), the 2nd time in 3 years.

We will be having our count compilation dinner at Cousins in The Dalles
starting about 5 pm.

Hope you can make it. It would be best to contact me prior to Thursday
night, December 14th by e-mail, but if something happens and you need to
contact me after next Thursday, please call me in the Gorge at 509.365.2404.

Have a great Holiday Season,
Bob Hansen
