The "Hour of the Garden Birds" enters the next round

A Bird Voice Hike in Vetschau

Between May 11th and May 13th the Nature Protection Federation (NABU) asks all people in Germany to record all birds which appear in their gardens, in a park, or some other place during one hour.

Through this, NABU receives important insight about the inventory and distribution of the various bird species. The more people participate in this action the significant the results will be.

Everyone in Germany may participate in this action, for instance, he/she may observe in his/her garden or city park birds, then fill in a report form and send it in to NABU. Information and report forms are available at the Internet site http://www.stunde-der-gartenvoegel.de. One may are also receive identification and count helps from this website.

It will be worthwhile to participate! Participants will be entered in draws for attractive prizes worth several thousand Euros, among them trips to the Kaiserstuhl (Emperor's chair) in the Upper Rhine Valley. "Online" participants have additional chances to win. The reporting deadline is May 19, 2007.

In conjunction this year, the NABU-Calau will conduct, a Bird Voice Hike on May 13th at 8:00 a.m. under the leadership of Wolfgang Albrecht. The meeting place will be the estate in the Dubrau district of Vetschau.
