Re: Help with tracking Robin, Barn Swallow, Oriole migrations



Hi Everyone,
     I told Deb Lauer, from MN, that I would pass on her request to the rest 
of Carolina birders, in case anyone would like to send migration info to her 
study group.  I've informed her that the B. Oriole mentioned has been a 
winter resident not a first spring sighting.  Take a look at her web site, 
too.
Thanks,
Shelley Theye

<< Hi Shelley,


I noticed your cold weather backyard bird list but didn't see mention of 
Robins.  Are the Robins singing on territory yet in NC?

I'm writing from the Journey North Headquarters in cold and snowy Minnesota 
to ask your help in tracking the Robin and Barn Swallow migrations. 


Journey North is a non-profit educational project that engages school age 
children in the study of global migrations. Our students report sightings of 
many migrating animals to our Web site. Your sightings added to our map would 
create better patterns for migration studies.



Upon sighting Robins in your area, please contact me promptly with the 
location and date. We would value your sighting reports and any observations 
you might make that would bring spring and the migration movement alive for 
students and their winter weary teachers.  

I forgot to mention that we also track Baltimore Orioles which I noticed in 
your report and is what made me write earlier note.  May I please use that 
sighting in our reports of first seen.  We also note date of first feeder up 
and first nest building for Orioles.


Cheers,


Deb Lauer
