[cobirds] Denver Christmas Bird Count information

Hello COBIRDers!

 

The Denver CBC can ALWAYS use more eyes and ears (regardless of birder skill level).  See information below.

 

Even if you cannot help out on the Denver CBC, PLEASE consider helping out on a Christmas Bird Count (CBC) near you (or one further afield to perhaps a new birding location for you). 

 

Joey.

69th DENVER CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2023

 

Count Leader/Compiler:  Joey Kellner, SWDenverBirding@gmail.com

Feeder Coordinator: Joey Kellner – Feeder watchers, please send your list of species and numbers of each species to the email above as soon as possible after “Count Day”.

 

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!

 

After a day in the field, all participants are invited to attend the compilation meeting to 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 approximately 5:00pm in the multipurpose room at the Chatfield State Park headquarters (south side of the lake near the Heronry Overlook); State Parks vehicle entry pass required.  Please carpool if possible. 

 

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. 

 

To prevent phone numbers and/or email addresses from being posted to COBIRDS, please contact the Compiler (contact info above) for contact information for all Area Leaders.
