correction Osprey Plaforms at Jordan Lake



Carolina Birds

Thanks to all of you who notified me of my error in posting the date. 
The correct date for the platform assembly is Saturday September 16,
2000.

Hopefully as many of you will volunteer as noticed the mistake.

Thanks,

Michael   

The US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Division of Parks and Recreation, New
Hope Audubon, and Carolina Power and Light are working together to put
up Osprey platforms at Jordan Lake.

A work day to assemble platforms is planned for Saturday September 16,
2000.

Work will take place at the NC State Recreation Area Headquarters
maintenance area located on NC HWY 64.  We will begin at 8:00 AM  and
work till around noon.  We hope to assemble at least 6 platforms that
day.  CP&L will be installing them later this year.

If you can't make it to this work day donšt worry, we plan to have
others.  Our goal is to have a total of  12 to 15 platforms installed.

We know of at least 12 nesting pairs of Osprey on the lake.  As the
standing dead timber in the lake ages and falls we are loosing many
nesting sites.

If you are interested in helping or have questions please contact me by
September 11, 2000.

Please pass this on to others you think may be interested.
