24 ISLAND SUN - NOVEMBER 11, 2011 San-Cap Audubon Needs Volunteers For Christmas Bird Count an-Cap Audubon will conduct its annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) on Saturday, December 17, 2011. The results of the local count will be for- Swarded to the National Audubon Society for inclusion in the 112th National Christmas Bird Count. More than 50,000 observers participate each year in this census of early-winter bird populations. The results of their efforts are compiled into the longest running database in ornithology, representing over a century of unbro- ken data on trends of early-winter bird populations across the Americas. Simply put, the Christmas Bird count, or CBC, is citizen science in action. Prior to the turn of the 20th century, people engaged in a holiday tradition known as the Christmas Side Hunt. They would choose sides and go into the field with their guns; whoever brought in the biggest pile of feathered (and furred) quarry won. Conservation was in its infancy around the turn of the century, and many observers and scientists were becoming concerned about declining bird populations. Beginning on Christmas Day 1900, ornithologist Frank Chapman, an early officer in the then-budding Audubon Society, proposed a new holiday tradition, a Christmas Bird Census that would count birds in the holidays rather than hunt them. So began the Christmas Bird Count. Thanks to the inspiration of Frank M. Chapman and the enthusiasm of 27 dedicated birders, 25 Christmas Bird Counts were held that day. The locations ranged from Toronto, Ontario; to Pacific Grove, California with most counts in or near the population centers in north- eastern North America. Those original 27 Christmas Bird Counters tallied a total of 90 species on all the counts combined. Volunteers are needed for this year’s CBC. Birding skills are desirable but not nec- essary. Anyone who would like to participate in this year’s Sanibel-Captiva CBC can obtain addition information by calling 395-3804. This year marks the 112th national bird count

Hundreds of chil- Sdren participated in the annual Design a Bookmark contest at the Lee County Library System. Their entries will be on display at Lee County Library System locations November 12 through 19. Each year, the library invites local third- through fifth-graders to create bookmarks with a theme about reading. This year’s theme, Come Alive with Books! inspired a wide variety of ideas, according to Lee County Library System Program Coordinator, Voncile Williams. “We received hundreds of bookmarks repre- senting the colorful imaginations of young people and their thoughts on reading. Some of the win- ning artists expressed themselves with animated books, mummies, robots and children enjoying a good read,” Williams said. Judges selected one winning design from each location. Those designs can be viewed on the Lee County Library System website at www.lee- county.com/library. Each of the winning artists will be invited to a special reception hosted by Art of the Olympians in downtown Fort Myers at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, November 18, where they will receive a supply Laura Ball, the artist, and Bob Scherer, the winner of their bookmarks to share with friends, family and classmates as well as a gift card to Books-A- Million and a pass for two aboard the Pieces of Raffle Winner Announced Eight Pirate Cruise. ctober was Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the Sanibel Post Office is This year’s local Design a Bookmark Contest proud to say it came in 9th place for stamp sales in the Suncoast District, winner is: Oselling 17,614 stamps and ranking 19th in the nation.

JSandycappers Sean Crickmore had the only other 4-0 score for the night. A miracle bank shot to pocket the eight ball by Ken Rasi propelled Bunt’s Ball Busters to a tight 9-7 win over Bathroom Magic. Rasi won both of his games and holds his team’s top shooting average with 88 percent. In their final game of a four game set Jack Dalton called a foul on Dave Doane for shooting the wrong ball. With cue ball in hand Dalton lined up what was to be his winning shot and drilled it. Doane then pointed out, “Jack, you also just shot the wrong ball.” With ball in hand Doane pocketed the eight and won the game. When questioned after their match neither player could explain their back-to-back mental lapses.
