The Committee toured Audubon's Tavernier Science Center in the Florida Keys and began discussion on the Center's future. The release last fall by NAS and others of the new Partners in Flight WatchList of almost 100 bird species with decreasing populations was termed a success. It was suggested that all Birdathon organizers ask for a larger pledge for any of the WatchList species seen on a Birdathon. The new agreement between NAS and Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology for Project FeederWatch was discussed, as was BirdSource , a new computer database on population trends for specific bird species. Committees meet the 2nd and 3rd days of Board meetings and welcome your discussion items.
Directors convene the last morning of each meeting shown.
