BAIN BIRDATHON 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Natural History Society will be again fielding birdathon 
     
     teams for the 1994 Bain Birdathon on Saturday, May 28th. This 
     
     year, the results of the team you sponsor will be used to calculate 
     
     the amount of pledges for those who pledge an amount per species 
     
     seen. However, even though there is a Society team for the fund 
     
     raiser, all members are encouraged to head for their favourite spot 
     
     or spots to record the species of birds they see during the day. 
     
     For the enthusiasts, the ‘maximunl period is the 24 hours from 
     
     midnight to midnight. The results from the counts will be 
     
     published in the Island Naturalist and observers should report 
     
     their sightings list to Dan McAskill by June 10th. 
     
    

    
     This year, Ray Cooke, the Society’s President, issued a 
     
     challenge to other birders in the province to try to beat his 
     
     Birdathon Team's total species count for the day. Anyone wishing 
     
     to take up the challenge simply has to call Ray at 894-9695. It 
     
     should be a lot of fun as well as yield valuable occurrence 
     
     information on the birds in the province. 
     
    

    
     The Society will contribute half of the funds raised from the 
     
     Birdathon to the Geoff Hogan Biology Honours Research Fund and 
     
     another worthwhile project. To contribute to the birdathon, 
     
     simply fill in and mail the attached pledge sheet to the Society.
