Our thoughts and prayers go to the family of R.L. Richardson, president of the Okatibbee Creek Audubon Society, who recently passed away. 

Check the SIGHTINGS page for new birds and questions about hummers.  And what's this?

The GBBC results are in.   Please go online and read all about it!  OCAS' Projects page has a brief summary of Howard Malone's sightings.  Anybody else want to post?

The Okatibbee Creek Audubon Society held the annual Christmas Bird Count on January 5, 2008.  I've posted the new totals on the Projects page.  You might like comparing the list to last year's, so I'm leaving it up, too.

Please contact Daniel Burns (see below) with sightings and news for the next newsletter.

 The photo at right was taken by Ruth Ann & Lomax Rosamond.

Daniel Burns will be accepting sightings and items for the newsletter. burnsh1@bellsouth.net   He will forward on to me (Sheila) anything that  needs to be posted on the website.  Or you may send sightings directly to me as you always have.
