Fwd: WIngs fall monitoring

Lake Park Birders,

I am forwarding Scott Diehl's announcement below requesting help
monitoring for injured and dead birds this fall through October. If
I set this message up correctly, you can reply to message to let
Scott know you are interested.

Now that I work next to City Hall in Milwaukee, I may be able to
arrange to participate. The trick for me is getting up early enough.

Subject: WIngs fall monitoring

We'd like to get fall WIngs Bird Collision Monitoring started on
Sunday, September 13th. If you are willing and able to monitor for
injured and dead birds this fall (through October), please let me
know what day(s) of the week and which Section you would like to
monitor. As I start hearing back from you, I'll put together a
monitoring calendar.

If you haven't seen it lately, please check out the WIngs web site at
www.wihumane.org/wildlife/wings/default.aspx. We have lots going on,
including another big giveaway of WindowAlerts window decals. If the
8 free decals in this offer are not enough to treat all of your
windows, we also have a special arrangement with WindowAlert.com that
gives customers that use our coupon code (on our web site) a free
pack of decals with their order and a donation of $1.00 back to WIngs
for every pack purchased.

The WIngs program will be featured in two "In Wisconsin" segments on
Wisconsin Public Television in the next few months, and we've just
developed a partnership with Milwaukee County Parks to get
WindowAlerts on the windows that pose a collision hazard for birds on
each of the 400 buildings in the Milwaukee County Parks system! The
latter program is made possible by a generous grant from the Jeff
Rusinow Family Foundation.
