[Jeff Bilsky]

You can contact the Ogden Nature Center here:

I have first hand experience with this program and I believe it is very
worth saving - a great educational resource and saving a bird life is always
a nice thing to do.

My apologies if this borders on the political. Naysayers I invite you to
ignore, delete or otherwise move along.

Thank you and Good Birding.
