Dear Birder, As a Tennessee Birder and someone who cares about birds, I would like to invite you to take part in the Birder Travel Decision Survey <http://ncsu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_7ULdgebKk4HlodD>! This study is being conducted by the Tourism Extension office at NC State University. Study results will be used to redesign an outreach program that helps local businesses better attract and serve birders, like you, as clientele. If you travel frequently for birding, the survey should take about 20 minutes to complete. If you don’t travel frequently for birding, the survey should only take a few minutes. Participation in the study is voluntary and all answers are confidential. At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you would like to be entered into a drawing to win a North Carolina Birding Trail guide. You can access the survey here <http://ncsu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_7ULdgebKk4HlodD>. If you have any questions about this survey, please feel free to email me ( ggdeason@xxxxxxxx) or Dr. Erin Seekamp (erin_seekamp@xxxxxxxx). Thanks in advance for sharing your valuable opinions!
