FIELD TRIPS:

October 9th (Sun): The Big Sit! - The Big Sit is like a Big Day in that the 
object is to tally as many bird species as can be seen or heard within 24 
hours. The difference lies in the area limitation (inside a 17-foot circle) 
from which you can observe. Hundreds of teams from around the world will be 
sitting on Oct. 9th. We will sit on the East side of the Provo Airport Dike 
were the moat makes the first bend (were the mud flats are this year). We 
sat at the airport dike last year and counted 45 species, in 2003 we counted 
53. Everyone is invited to join for the whole day or any part of it, come 
and leave when you want. We will start at 6:00 A.M. and end after dark (We 
may take a break mid afternoon ~2-5pm). Our goal is to beat 53 species.

October 22nd (Sat): East Canyon Reservoir and Morgan Co. area - Meet at 8:00 
A.M. at the 800 North park and ride at the mouth of Provo Canyon (on the 
North side of 8th North between the gas station and the mouth of the 
canyon.)
