CLEVELAND LAKEFRONT WINTER BIRDING TRAIL (PDF)


Kirtland Bird Club
LaMucuy Project

The LaMucuy Bird Observatory in Merida, Venezuela is dedicated to the ongoing research of neotropical migrants. This small but well-respected research station in the Andean cloud forest gathers baseline Cerulean, Blackburnian, and Canada warblers, as well as 40 other migratory species. These birds delight us when they visit the US during spring and fall migrations, but their status in their winter breeding grounds is not well understood. As a developing nation, Venezuela lacks the financial resources to fund this kind of basic research. It is crucial that we in the North give assistance to the South to protect the wildlife that gives us such pleasure. The money provided by KBC will pay for consumables such as mist nets, bands, film and processing. 

We hope to gather additional funds for this project through individual donations from KBC members and supporters. Tax deductible donations can be made out to the Kirtland Bird Club (earmarked for the LaMucuy Project) and sent to KBC, 4310 Bush Ave, Cleveland 44109.

Please respond by November 30, 2003.
