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!!!

Share Your Ideas for IMBD Themes
Each year, the International Migratory Bird
Day theme provides organizers with new information about issues related
to bird conservation. Please take a moment to share your thoughts about
the proposed theme for 2011 and your ideas for future themes by
completing a 3-question survey. An IMBD theme must be
conservation-based, current, positive, tangible, educational, and
engaging. It must also be usable by IMBD organizers in diverse
organizations throughout the Western Hemisphere. Your input is
appreciated!
Yes! I'll vote on the theme.
