***********************************************

The next Madison Audubon Society field trip is this coming Friday,
March 3rd – Night Owls. Al Shea will lead this trip to various
locations in Dane County. The trip will last 3-4 hours and is limited
to 30 participants. To join the trip, please call the Madison Audubon
office at 608-255-2473, leave your name, telephone number, and the
number of people (maximum 4) in your group. Preference will be given
to those who have not previously been on one of Al's owl trips.
Registered participants will meet at 7 p.m. in the UW Arboretum
Visitor Center for an introduction to owls and then proceed from there
to look for owls. Dress warmly as standing and listening for owls can
be a cold experience this time of year. After registering with the
MAS office, please call Al at 608-825-6232 if you have any questions.

Good Birding!
