Thanks all for letting me know about your availability. Teams, maps & forms coming soon. I've got an adequate crew for all sectors except the ever-popular A, the narrow strip along the Hudson on the Albany side from Watervliet to Selkirk. That usually gets carved up by several parties. Any takers?
Afterparty is at the Lakeview at 4:30

Hey, SoRensCo crew - it's almost time to gear up for the count! Admit it, by post-Christmas weekend, you'll be dying for an excuse to get outside. Please let me know your availability. If you know people who might be interested in joining field teams, send 'em my way.
I'll leave it up to individual teams to decide how you want to travel based on your own comfort and vaccination status. If your team is split to cover different sections of your territory, I'll need a separate species list and data report for each.
And if possible, I'd like a tentative headcount for our post-count dinner at the Lakeview Inn
Special thanks to the overachievers who have already reached out!

Bob Yunick asked me to pass this message on about Bill Lee, Thursday Group Leader Emeritus:
=========
Naomi - I don't know if you are aware of Bill Lee's medical condition. I visited him this morning at Ellis Hospital. His wife, daughter and son were there. He's in Hospice care, on oxygen, possibly to go to Kingsway Nursing Home in Sch'dy. He's diabetic and has had several recent surgical procedures to assist urination. It's been a rough haul for him and his family.
Christine asked that I contact you to inform your Thursday group about him. He was asleep when I was there so there was no opportunity to talk to him. I brought the last two issues of FEATHERS for him.
Please pass on to your group this news about him. Thanks.
===========
At present the family is requesting no visitors. I'll share any further information I get.

Hey Thursday birders! 2 inches of rain followed by a freeze and 25mph wind gusts - no thanks!
Next week is the Saratoga CBC
Week after - 12/26 - well, we'll see. And it's time to change over to winter hours, meeting at 9:00 until it warms up again.
UM, everyone kind of ignore the typo, please? Corrected below...
