Greetings all you birders, and especially any of you banders.

I am trying to find the schedule for upcoming North American Banding Council (NABC) certification classes (for you none banders, these are national-level classes for banders, and also trainers of banders, to insure scientific consistency, while emphasizing safety first for the birds).

Their website (http://www.nabanding.net)/ has been broken for about three weeks now, and I can't find any contacts to work around the problem.
I tried writing to CJ Ralph, chair, but in the summer he is out in the field a lot, and doesn't read his email much.

Does anyone in Tweeters land know someone on the NABC Board, or someone where an upcoming NABC certification class is scheduled?
If so, would you either send me their email address, or forward this request to them?

Thanking you in advance,
