Are you competing in this year’s San Vito Bird Club Bird Feeder Contest?  If so, here are the rules and regulations once again:

Rules—1. Your bird feeder(s) must be viewable by you, and if you have more than one, all must be viewable from a single spot.  In other words, you can’t have one here and one way out on the other side of the barn.  2. The birds must consume food from your bird feeder or around the bottom of your bird feeder.  3. Whatever food you put on the feeder(s) is up to you.  4. We use the honor system.  If you say you had a Laughing Kookaburra on your feeder, we’ll accept it.  But PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…be sure you are correctly identifying your birds.  5.  Submit your list to Greg Homer on or before our Annual Meeting on Feb. 25th.  6. First, second and third place submissions receive a prize!

To be eligible for the Bird Feeder Contest:

1. You must be a member of the San Vito Bird Club with your 2018 dues paid in full. You may pay at the door.
2. You must bring a paper copy of your list to the Annual Meeting at Cascata del Bosco no later than 8:45am on Sunday, Feb. 25th; hand it to me (Greg Homer).

SVBC members; please join the San Vito Bird Club for our Annual Meeting on Sunday, Feb. 25th at Cascata del Bosco.  Coffee and social time begins at 8:30am.  Meeting begins at 9am.  Following the meeting, another delicious full brunch from Cascata is offered for c6000 (including BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!) and begins at 10:30am.

To attend the Annual Meeting you MUST have your 2018 dues paid in full.  You may do so, if necessary, at the door when you arrive for the meeting.
