[cobirds] DENVER CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2024

70th DENVER CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2024

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

Feeder Coordinator: Bob Shade wrshade3 at gmail.com – If you live inside the Count Circle and cannot participate in the field, PLEASE consider being a feeder watcher!  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 Please contact Laura with any item you would like to bring to the potluck or ask her what items we may need more of.

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:

The potluck is back! 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 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 of the area you are interested in (see below).  If you would like to help in an area that still needs additional observers, call the Count Compiler (contact info above).  Link to Google Maps Denver CBC Count Areas

NOTE: PANIC! I STILL need an Area Leader for each of the two areas in red text below!  Please contact me directly if you are interested.
