[SEMCO] VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Cape Cod Waterfowl Count Dec. 7, 2008

[Alison Robb]

Cape Cod Lake and Pond Waterfowl Survey

Volunteers needed Sunday Dec. 7


Nature's Circle will lead a section of the annual Cape Cod Lake and  
Pond Waterfowl Survey on Sunday, December 7th, 2008.  The survey  
covers all ponds and lakes on Cape Cod, with dozens of teams, all on  
the same weekend.  It is a wonderful way to spend a winter Sunday and  
we need a few volunteers, experienced or not

This Falmouth team will visit twelve sites, from  Little   
Sippewissett Marsh on Buzzards Bay to Childs River and ponds near  
Waquoit Bay.  We can expect to see Hooded Mergansers, Ring-necked  
Ducks, Goldeneyes, Great Blue Herons, Pintails, Buffleheads, and many  
others.

We shall start at 9 am at Woodneck Beach and finish around 3 pm in  
Waquoit, so participants should bring a lunch, binoculars, ‘scope if  
you have it, a sense of adventure, and wear very warm clothes.  It is  
a great day outdoors and you'll see ponds you never knew were  
there !  There is not much walking, mostly short walks and searching  
through spottingscopes, driving between sites and  we can carpool.

This will be the tenth year that Alison Robb with the help of other  
volunteers has counted waterfowl across Falmouth early in December.   
To sign up call Nature's Circle, 508-564-4331, or email:
