Hello, everyone,
    I apologize for another cross-post. Just wanted to report in with my 
"dispatch" from the Great Backyard Bird Count. I realize not everyone is into 
nature, but for those who are, this weekend is a great way to get totally in 
touch. From now through Monday, people across the United States (world, 
maybe) are asked to spend a bit of their time to count the ornithological 
visitors to their back yards, and report the information at www.audubon.org 
or www.birdsource.org. Scientists are able to extrapolate the data from your 
time and place and determine whether the myriad bird species are showing 
significant population changes and, from there, can work on determining the 
causes.
    Trust me on this, if you try this, you will realize how much "company" 
you really have in this world.
Deb (who thinks that even the ubiquitous mourning dove deserves to stand up 
and be counted!)
