Need a birding refresher before attending a Sunday Morning Bird Walk? Watch this video by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, called Birding Warblers. Sunday morning birdwalks are held every Sunday through the end of May, 7:30-9 AM at Anita Purves Nature Center in Urbana. They are led by a CCAS member; beginner birders are welcome - there's no better way to learn birding than in a group of mixed skill levels!

Mourning Warblers are notoriously hard to spot because they spend a lot of time deep in thick cover. Can you find him? He's probably skulking in the bushes over there.
Your pledges needed!

please email Janet Jokela
or Darin Eastburn. Thank
you.

The e-newsletter gives
you the same important information you value, while helping your
membership dues go farther. When you subsribe, it reduces costs
for printing and mailing, freeing up more resources to support education
and conservation.
You can also feel good knowing you are reducing the need for paper,
and, you will get your e-newsletter sooner than the paper
copy! Thank you!
Seeking
CCAS Friends
If you have not already done so, please consider
supporting CCAS as a “CCAS Friend.” As a member of the
National Audubon Society, you are also automatically a member of
the Champaign County Audubon Society; however, NAS has largely phased
out their dues sharing program in which CCAS once received a share
of the dues that you paid for National membership. When you become
a Friend of CCAS, we keep 100% of your CCAS Friend donation. This
support will help us to be financially self sufficient, while sharing
the same goals as National Audubon. Please click here
for more information. We are grateful for your support. Thank you!
