If you live along the Gulf Coast from Texas to the FL Keys here’s a great opportunity to help out the birds.  ebird.org is asking people to survey shorebirds.  Go to http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/survey-gulf-coast-birds  for information on how to help. 

 The oil spill will have an inpact on our bird population and this survey will help provide some data regarding how many birds there are now, and with a disaster, how many would be left.  Go outside and have some fun!
