How Birders Can Aid the Megaquarry Fight

[Brian Bailey]

NDACT (North Dufferin Agricultural and Community Taskforce)  is asking for birders to submit their sightings to provide data in their fight against a megaquarry.  Here's the information from their website:

Calling on Bird Enthusiasts - NDACT Needs Your Help

Since, spring is around the corner, and bird presence is increasing, we need your help in spotting the bird species that are found in the proposed quarry area.

Please travel around the quarry application site, between now and July 15, 2012 and take inventory of what you see...written down, dated and witnessed.

Please contact info@ndact.com, with your findings.

The reason for this call to action is to identify the diversity that is present in Melancthon, with a focus on the Bobolink and the Barn Swallow, others to join this list. The more species of all ecological life we can identify, the better. It will help to put together a collage of images for presentations to various Ministries and decision makers.

Thank you for engaging and helping to spread the word.

Carl Cosack, NDACT Chair

It's always nice to be able to put your pastime to good use!
