This is an invitation to all area birders to participate in the Stones 
River National Battlefield's first annual International Migratory Bird 
Day (IMBD) bird count on Saturday May 14.
Park staff and volunteers have been working for several years to remove 
invasive exotic plant species and establish native grasses at the 
Fortress Rosecrans site, and results from this year's bird count will 
be used in conjunction with other inventory efforts to establish 
baseline references on bird diversity and abundance.  Ultimately, data 
such as those collected at counts like this one can help park officials 
evaluate the effectiveness of different habitat restoration strategies.

We will be meeting at the Fortress Rosecrans parking lot in 
Murfreesboro at 9:00 am.  Please join us!

For more information, please contact Terri Hogan, 615.893.9501 
(terri_hogan@xxxxxxx).

I hope to see many of you there!
