Forwarded by Jane Clark Hi folks! I just wanted to send out a reminder about the raptor and colonial waterbird nest monitoring workshops. If you were interested in registering for a workshop, now's the time to do it! Again this program is designed to train people to collect information on nesting activity and success of raptors and CWBs. The member's of this listserv are ideal participants in this program as they already have a passion for and knowledge of birds. For more information and to download a registration form go to: http://www.iowadnr.com/wildlife/diversity/vwmp.html There are workshops the next 3 Saturdays: Oct. 27 in Burlington, Nov. 3rd in Polk County in between Ames and Des Moines (Chichaqua Bottoms) and Nov. 10 in Northwest Iowa near Ruthven at Lost Island Lake Nature Center. Workshops run from 10-4. If you're interested in attending please consider registering now. And please pass it on to anybody else who might be interested! Thanks!
