Hi Tweets,

Thought I should pass this on to all the Northwest snowbirds who will be
fleeing to Mexico over the Christmas holidays. For information on the
count, please contact the emails below from the Arizona birding list.

Anyone know of a CBC happening in Manzanillo or Barra de Navidad, Jalisco
over Christmas?

Hello all:

I am Rob van Zandt, this year's compiler (someone HAS to do it) for the 10
year defunct San Blas, Nyarit, Mexico Christmas Bird Count. Last year it
was done was 1993. We are re-establishing this wonderful Mexican count
and need all the assistance we can get. We welcome all comers interested
in participating.

Please contact me at either of these two e-addresses if interested:
thevzs at theriver.com or wcsllc at theriver.com
