So far the response to our education fund appeal has been impressive! By the next newsletter we will know exactly how generous you all were. Thank you! For those of you who have not yet gotten around to making a donation, the time is now. These donations are tax deductible, for those who track deductions.

Until next time I offer you a bit of trivia. Last century, some birds were known by the following names:

1. golden-winged woodpeckers
2. butcher-birds
3. great-footed hawks
4. Carolina pigeons
5. cock-of-the-plains

What are they known as today? For those of you who are email equipped, send your guesses to me at davinbow@yahoo.com and I will announce who had the most correct answers next month.

Also, we'll have a booth at the Spring Community Fair at the Chico Mall on Saturday, March 4 from 10 A.M.-7 P.M. Drop by to say hi!
