Get Involved in the Christmas Bird Count!!



Since the Christmas Bird Count began over a century ago, it has relied on the dedication
and commitment of volunteer citizen scientists. In other words, it all starts with you!

Very few organizations in the world have such a Citizen Science project as
Audubon's Christmas Bird Count (CBC). Amid all the holiday flurry, it provides an
opportunity to remind people to connect with nature, get away from gridlock, and spend
some quality time outdoors with family and friends looking for our feathered friends.

Visit their site for further details!!!
