    CHIP NOTES The Newsletter of The Birds of Vermont Museum Volume 23 Our Twenty-third Year January 2009 BOB SPEAR TO TURN 89 Bob Spear, the Founding Director of the Birds of Vermont Museum, will celebrate his 89 th birthday on February 21 st . We pay a lot of attention to Bob's wood carving accomplish- ments over the past 88 years, but what of his other accom- plishments? In 1969 Bob compiled Birds of Vermont which was published by the Green Mountain Audubon Society. Birds of Vermont was one of the early publications listing the status of all of Vermont’s bird species, including the dates birds are seen in Vermont. The data to put together the book came from earlier lists and personal reports. Some of the published sources of information came from documents printed in the late 1880’s. Other data from naturalists such as George Kirk, who had extensive field notes from 1901- 1947, were used in this document. Bob drew all of the abundance charts by hand and hand wrote each Latin name. Birds of Vermont was updated and Bob Spear wearing his “I’ve survived Damn republished in 1976. The information was again updated and near everything” pin at his 88th birthday published in Murin and Pfeiffer’s Birdwatching in Vermont , party. 2002. Many of the data can now be found electronically on Vermont ebird. Copies of Birds of Vermont are sometimes available through Amazon.com or Ebay. When Birds of Vermont was first published several species were noted as increasing in Vermont. these included: Com- mon Raven, Northern Cardinal, and Tufted Titmouse.

The Museum and its visitors will count from 2:00–4:00 p.m. The count goes from February 16-19th and anyone can participate from their own home or a nearby park. For more information, to download material, take a bird quiz, or check out the kid’s activities go to http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ Members and non-members who are interested in participating in the bird count are invited to the Museum on February 17th to observe different species of birds.

In 2006, participants nationwide sent in more than 60,000 checklists with a record breaking total count of more than 7.5 million birds and over 620 species. This project has become a major source of scientific information about North American bird populations, and is a classic example of the vital role citizens play in understanding bird populations.
