A reminder that tomorrow July 1 is the 100th birthday of the RAOU/Birds
Australia. Help us celebrate in three ways tomorrow:
1 All Atlassers have been asked to do at least one survey tomorrow - up to
8000! A great snapshot of our birds.
2 Sending in a list of all the birds you see tomorrow will earn sponsorship
up to $1000 for HANZAB and endangered species. (The VicGroup will give $2 a
species seen by someone and $5 if it's in the Action Plan for Endangered
Birds. The sposorship is per species not per sighting.) Obviously to earn
the full $1000 we need coverage Australia-wide.
Send your list in to
All Atlas sheets for July 1 will be included.
3 the person or team seeing most birds on July 1 will get a prize given by
Andrew Isles Natural History Books.
There's a special prize for the child under 11 who sees most birds on the day.
You don't have to be a member of Birds Australia to take part (but I hope
you are!)
You are welcome to solicit extra sponsorship from friends or family

Thanks and enjoy the day
