[cobirds] 59th DENVER CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2012

Count Leader/Compiler: Joey Kellner (303-978-1748), vireo1@comcast.net

Compilation (and potluck) meeting: 5:00 pm, South Platte Park
classroom, 3000 W. Carson Dr.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the annual Denver
Christmas Bird Count (CBC) sponsored by the Denver Field Ornithologists and
the National Audubon Society. The 15-mile diameter "count circle" is
subdivided into 24 "count areas" each with a leader. Area locations and
names of Area Leaders are listed below. To participate, call or email the
Count Compiler (contact info above) and I will provide the contact info for
the Count Area Leader for the particular area you are interested in. If you
would like to help out in an area that still needs additional observers let
me know as I have several areas that could use a few more birders. You
don't need to be an expert, beginners are always welcome!

Area Leaders will provide specifics (meeting time, place and other
information) for their areas.

After a day in the field, all participants are invited to attend the
compilation meeting to feast, warm up, chat with other birders, and find out
how the count fared. It is a lot of fun. The compilation meeting will be
at the Carson Nature Center (Santa Fe & Mineral Ave, between the Light Rail
parking and the Platte River) at 5pm. Feel free to bring a dish or desert
to share!

Fees: None! National Audubon Society has now eliminated ALL fees for
participants! So, no excuses! Come have a great time and help count birds!

The 24 Count Areas are listed below. Call or email me for Area Leader
contact info.
