[cobirds] Sign up for Christmas Bird Counts now available

Cobirders,

 

National Audubon has now opened the registration site for signing up to participate in the year’s Christmas Bird Count activities.  CBCs are a 113 year-old tradition in surveying early winter bird populations throughout the US, Canada and now as far south as northern Latin America.  It is a way to join in with about 75,000 other birders in a really fun activity.  I know that once I started doing CBCs I got totally hooked to the point that I have done more than 100 counts over the years.

 

Go to this NAS website http://birds.audubon.org/christmas-bird-count to initiate the sign-up process.  CBC are held during the 22 day period from December 14^th to January 5^th, so sign up for more than one.  (If you are really inspired [aka, crazy], you can compete with Doug Kibbe and me as we try to hit the double-digit count level!)

 

CBC Compilers please select a count date as soon as possible to help participants with signing up.
