The event, a fall birdathon, is the principle fund raiser for Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory (CVWO) 1.  The biggest expense for CVWO is staffing our research and education programs.  This fall at Kiptopeke State Park on Virginia's Eastern Shore the CVWO staff is already hard at work.  The hawk counter, Jason Bojczyk, is new with us this year.  He will be joined on the platform by assistant counter, Andrew Rapp.  We are looking forward to a fall full of raptors.  The hawk counting will continue through the end of November.  The Monarch butterfly tagging program will be staffed this year by Andrew Rapp who is filling two positions.  You can check out all of our programs at our website www.cvwo.org or follow us on the CVWO blog https://vawildliferesearch.org/cvwo-blog.

The LAUGHING FALCONS team from CHAS will again participate and will try to record as many species as possible in a 24 hour period on October 10. We are soliciting pledges based on the number of species seen (but, of course, fixed amount donations are also greatly appreciated).
