National Audubon Society's
120th CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT
|
Watchers and counters who would like to help with the annual Christmas Bird Counts sponsored by National Audubon Society are welcome!
Consider getting involved. Birders of all experience levels may participate. While a full day of birding is rewarding, folks may choose to spend only part of the designated day birding. Join an experienced team in the field, go out to an assigned area on your own, or conduct a count of the birds coming to your yard and feeder (if you live within a count circle). Count circle territories may be viewed here: https://audubon.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=fadfb421e95f4949bde20c29a38228bd Contact the compiler for more information and/or to sign up.
