GAME COMMISSION URGES PARTICIPATION IN CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are urging wildlife enthusiasts to join the tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the United States in the Audubon Society’s 109th Annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC), which will take place Dec. 14 through Jan. 5.
“Bird enthusiasts, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists, will head out on an annual mission - often before dawn - to make a difference and to experience the beauty of creation,” said Dan Brauning, Game Commission Wildlife Diversity Section supervisor. “Each year, volunteers brave snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count, and they have made an enormous contribution to conservation to help guide conservation actions.
“The data collected through this effort – which is the longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations – allows researchers, conservation biologists, and other interested individuals to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America. When combined with other surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey, it provides a picture of how the continent's bird populations have changed in time and space over the past hundred years.”

Anyone who doesnt already know that pgc and the deer plan have been guided by tree huggers for the last several years has their head in a very dark place.
These biodiversity nuts should stick to their bird watching and stay the **** outta deer management.

DEER are not the the important thing in pa.
its INSURANCE CO.LOGGING,DCNR AND NON HUNTING PUBLIC WHO WILL OUT SPEND ALL OF US.
go and ask a hunter for donation, go ask a tree hugger for one.treehugger will give you a 20 dollar easy, hunter will pass can along or drop 1 dollar in.[:@]
my sister is member of that PETA group, she spends a ton of money donating to their causes.
this is reason, rich or well to do are not HUNTERS.
they are bird watchers , hikers etc.
they do DONATE to causes that are hurting us.

we spend it where it helps the local business etc.
my CHEAP comment is when you pass around CAN to do something,MOST hunters will sneak out back door or not donate.
heck, you should see members we lost when our club dues were raised up 2 dollars and they would not get a bag of corn,we lost ton of members.
now dues is going to 15 dollars, i bet they will loose 500 members,want to bet.
