We can rendezvous back at the parking lot to compare our sightings. Bob and Jean Spitzer will produce an integrated bird list for sharing by email. We want to exit before the Arboretum prepares for the evening lights.  \n\n\n\nNote: Preregistration with the trip leader is required; you are NOT registered until you receive a confirmation from the trip leader. Note also\, the Arboretum may choose to close off access – check the DBC website for updates on the trip’s status. Also\, read carefully the details below on how to obtain an entry pass to the Arboretum. \n\n\n\n The Covid-19 Virus has impacted this year’s birding. There are some key constraints\, both from the Arboretum and our bird club. \n\n\n\nArboretum: \n\n\n\n1.      Consult the Arboretum website section for Admissions and Hours. – Link to gain admission and pay the fee as required. \n\n\n\n2.      Everyone must sign-in days in advance to gain entry into the Arboretum. – Every attendee must have an entry pass. – We all must individually apply for the entry pass. – This must be done well in advance (days). – Arboretum members can use their Member Card. – Non-members will need to pay on the computer in advance. – We all will receive an entry pass via email. – The pass form must be shown at the entry gate. – Entry is only allowed at the selected entry time. – There is a “late” arrival tolerance period of one hour. – Expect a “no entry” sign when they hit their daily overall limit. – Exercise people may be significant in the morning. – We should be OK with our entry timing. \n\n\n\n3.      Given the Virus-related constraints\, there is no restaurant service.
