Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve

30 Apr, 09 AM - 01 May, 09 AM

I wish to observe birds along the Big Creek Reserve's roads as part of the second annual America's Birdiest County competition, which will again (in Monterey County) be a "Birdathon" fund-raiser for the Ventana Wilderness Society's Big Sur Ornithology Lab and the Monterey Peninsula Audubon Society. Last year our Monterey County team won the first annual competion with 248 bird species! We wish to defend our national championship and raise critical monies for the Big Sur Ornithology Lab and Monterey Peninsula Audubon Society. My portion of Monterey County includes the Big Creek Reserve, with which I am familiar from doing the Breeding Bird Atlas there in 1992. The event is a 24-hour period; we have selected 4:00PM Firday 30 April through 4:00PM Saturday 1 May. Only a portion of this time I would be on the Big Creek Reserve lands, but I am requesting permission for the entire 24 hours because I do not know exactly when I will want to bird on the Reserve (it being largely weather-dependent). I will be alone during this visit and will only observe the birds, not handle them. I might call birds to get them to reveal their presence, but I do not have to see the birds; hearing them is sufficient. I will inform the Reserve Manager of any unusual observations.
