AN UPDATE ON ANDREW WOLFE

FROM THE Catholic Tradition & Evangelization FB PAGE

PLS CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR WOLFE.

Update from soldier shot in DC

Andy Wolfe’s mother Melody says he is NOT awake and responsive, in the truest sense, but IS responsive in a few simple commands like raising his thumb, squeezing my hand, and wiggling his toes.
Andy underwent an angiogram, he has no aneurysms or blood clots and everything looked good! His neurosurgeon said he is happy with what he is seeing and that this is a major milestone!!! Praise God

Many have asked about sending cards to Andy. You can address it to:

Andy Wolfe
Berkeley County Sheriff’s Dept
510 South Raleigh Street
Martinsburg, WV 25401

Andy’s oxygen dropped a tad last night but we think it’s because of mucus buildup so they’re doing a small procedure to get the mucus and then he should be fine 
I love you all 
Keep the prayers coming warriors

CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT!

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

AND NOW A WORD FROM THE NYSDEC---Participate in a Christmas Bird Count

Community science is vital to helping researchers and scientists understand bird populations. Along with contributing to eBird, joining a bird count can be a fun, helpful, and insightful opportunity to connect with the birds and birding community near you. The Christmas Bird Count is organized by Audubon and takes place annually from December 14 to January 5.

To find an event near you, we recommend connecting with your local birding organization, association, or club—such as Christmas Bird Counts with Buffalo Ornithological Society.

How to Participate

Find a Circle: Use the National Audubon Society's interactive map to find a count circle near you in the Hudson Valley.

Contact the Compiler: Each circle has a compiler who manages participants and assigns routes or areas. You must arrange participation with them in advance. Their contact information is available on the Audubon map or through local Audubon society websites like the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) calendar.

Join a Team or Count from Home: Compilers will place new participants with an experienced group, or if your home is within a count circle, you may be able to count birds from your feeder (with prior arrangement).

No Experience Necessary: All skill levels are welcome, and it is a family-friendly community science project.
