Important Notice for 2010 Meetings
Starting in January 2010 our monthly meetings will
take place at MPTC. The location will be in building
O and in room O-104. From National Ave., turn
into parking lot O and park near the door. Enter the
door labeled O-1. Room O-104 is just inside the
door and on the left. It is easy to find. This change is
occurring due to rising costs at UW-Fond du Lac. We
have enjoyed the use of the Henken Lounge for quite
a few years and want to thank the UW for sharing
their facilities with us. Please make a note of this
change on your program brochure.
Help in the Great Backyard Bird Count
February 12-15, 2010
Each year thousands of bird enthusiasts help
researchers get a “snap shot” in time of the bird
population. To learn the details and how to send in
the data, go to www.birdcount.org.
Even if you can only watch your feeders for 15
minutes one of the days, your contribution will be
helpful. Mark your calendar today and be part of the
“citizen science” effort.
It's for the Birds! Audubon Bird Seed sale - bird seed still available!
Fondy Cardinals (among others) prefer Audubon Bird Seed!
