25,000 SIGHTINGS AND COUNTING!! THANK YOU!21 Jan 10

Today the Painted Bunting Observer Team received our 25,000th report from our fantastic volunteers! We're very thankful for all of your help and look forward to many more milestones like this! -- I hope everyone, and everything, managed to stay warm during this bitterly cold weather! Don’t worry about your Painted Buntings – they are well-equipped to handle the cold as long as someone keeps their favorite feeder full! Thanks for taking good care of them. –- Update on the December PBOT Workshops: the turn-out was fantastic for our first series of PBOT Workshops along the east coast of Florida! We had over 100 people in total attend the four workshops – in fact, attendance for the workshop in Kissimmee was the highest ever for a meeting of the Kissimmee Valley Audubon Society. Dr. Jamie really enjoyed meeting all of you, and we appreciate your kind words and helpful suggestions about our program and website. Thanks for taking the time to come meet Dr. Jamie and learn a little more about PBOT and the Painted Bunting! And thanks for all your 25,000 reports! Leah
