This just in from the FWC:

Dr. James Rotenberg with the Department of Environmental Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington is participating in the NC component of a range-wide project monitoring wintering Painted Buntings and would like to expand his winter feeder watch program to include Florida.  He has about 2000 Painted Buntings color banded and re-sightings would contribute to information on survival.  His website for this effort is already established (www.paintedbuntings.org<http://www.paintedbuntings.org/>) and can be modified to include data from Florida.   Information on the feeder watch program, sign up directions, and instructions for observations and data entry are provided at the website.

If you are interested in helping Dr. Rotenberg with this project please contact him at rotenbergj@uncw.edu<mailto:rotenbergj@uncw.edu> or call 910 962-7549.  Please forward this request for assistance to others who may want to participate.
