Hi all,
On behalf of Manada Conservancy, I just wanted to send out a huge thank you to all the PA birders (and non-birder friends) who donated to the PSO Breeding Bird Blitz so far this year. As you know, Manada Conservancy is fortunate to be one of the recipients of the funds this year, so the birds will benefit in an area along the Swatara Creek, in Dauphin County, that is being restored for riparian habitat. It is so cool when we can all come together to support these organizations to help bird habitat, while having participants help us gather data. It’s a win-win, and we really appreciate everyone who chipped in. If you want to see the purpose of the funds that will go to Manada Conservancy that you helped to raise, it can be found here: https://www.breedingbirdblitz.org/partners-projects
Our birding team (Manada Bird Brains, we like that name, because actually though it started out as sort of self-deprecation, now we know that birds are actually pretty smart, maybe smarter than some humans, but we won’t go there). We braved some rain, and also mosquitoes that were almost as big as the birds, and though our list of 54 for that day was modest, we had a lot of fun doing it.
Thanks to you and also to PSO for sponsoring this fun event.
