[cobirds] Re: Denver Christmas Bird Count (CBC) December 20th

Updated to show emails (hopefully)


71th DENVER CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2025

 

Count Leader/Compiler:  Joey Kellner (303-978-1748), SWDenverBirding at gmail.com

Feeder Coordinator: Bob Shade wrshade3 at gmail.com – Feeder watchers, please send your list of species and numbers of each species to the email above as soon as possible after "Count Day".

Potluck Coordinator: Laura Steadman lauramsteadman at gmail.com;

All are encouraged to participate in the annual Denver Christmas Bird Count (CBC) sponsored the National Audubon Society. 

Fees: None!  So, no excuses!  Come have a great time and help count birds!  Beginners and experts all welcome!

POTLUCK and COMPLILATION:

After a day in the field, ALL participants are invited to attend the compilation potluck meeting to warm up, chat with other birders, and find out how the count fared. It is a lot of fun.  We will start gathering around 5:00pm in the multipurpose room at the Chatfield State Park headquarters on the south side of the lake near the Heronry Overlook (State Parks vehicle entry pass required). Contact Laura Steadman (lauramsteadman at gmail.com ) and let her know what you will be bringing (or ask her what items she needs more of). Bringing food is NOT a requirement to join in the fun!  The compilation itself will start closer to 5:30pm when a representative f all areas arrive/report in with their sightings.

The 15-mile diameter "count circle" is subdivided into 24 "count areas" each with an Area Leader.  To participate, please contact the Area Leader (see below).  If you would like to help in an area that still needs additional observers, call the Count Compiler (contact info above).

 IF you cannot participate in the Denver CBC, PLEASE consider helping out on a different Christmas Bird Count (many are held all over Colorado and on different dates).  It's a great way to learn about a new birding area and meet some great people!

Joey.
