century count
The Benewah County Century Count is
scheduled for Saturday, May 31 this year. This is an all-day marathon to
find at least 100 species in a single day, all within Benewah County. We last
did a Big Day in Benewah County in 2003. We have reserved the "Chatcolet
Cottage" at Heyburn State Park for the night before and the night after
(Friday and Saturday nights). There are still a few places left.
Some of us will bird the bike trail on bikes in the morning while others will
bird of foot around Heyburn State Park, then car-bird in the afternoon.
Day-only participants will meet at the cottage in the morning. Contact Lisa
Hardy (basalt@earthlink.net) for
details.
