Volunteers Wanted for Bird Survey

Nature's Circle will lead a section of the annual Cape Cod Lake and  
Pond Waterfowl Survey on Sunday, December 5th, 2010.  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 volunteers, experienced or not.

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

We shall start at 9 am at Woodneck Beach off Sippewissett Road 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 spotting ‘scopes, driving between sites  
and  we can carpool.

This will be the 12th year Nature’s Circle with the help of many  
volunteers has counted waterfowl across Falmouth early in December.   
To sign up call Nature's Circle, 508-564-4331, or email:
