Well, it’s been a long 10 months of planning, but today is the first day of the Brockway Mountain Count! I would like to thank everyone for all the hard work they put it making this project a realilty. Of course due to the logistics of Brockway, we are not out the nail-biting phase yet as this unseasonable thaw has made it impossible to to use a snowmobile on the upper mountain while the lower road remains snowed in. Joe Youngman is headed to the Mnt. today with a couple of ideas in his pocket on how to get Max to the count site. Stand by for more exciting tales of just how they pull this one off!
Congratulations, KRS!
Michigan Audubon is proud to be a partner on this project. The professionalism of the coordinating committee, which includes members of two chapters of Michigan Audubon, has been outstanding. We hope that other chapters and interested birders take your example and expand bird monitoring and formal observation throughout the state.
We are rooting for Max as he begins the new endeavor that is KRS.
Best regards,
Michigan Audubon Staff & Board
