DECEMBER 14, 2010 - JANUARY 5, 2011
Participants
are typically assigned to teams based on their bird identification
skill level and endurance. A $5.00 participation fee defrays a portion
of the cost of tabulating and publishing the count results by National
Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Help is needed on many of
these counts, so find one that interests you and contact the compiler
for more information.
Too cold to
come out on a December or January day, compilers need help from
landowners for permission to access to your property, birders will not
trespass. How about keeping a list of birds that you see in your yard
on that day (be a “feeder watcher”), or you can join a team to cover a
territory near your home. (New birders are paired with veterans, so
you don’t have to be an expert.)
Beginners to
experts are welcome, maybe you know the area that a visiting birder
doesn't. If you’ve ever heard yourself say, “Maybe it’d be fun to
learn birds,” here’s a great opportunity. Call the contacts listed
below to participate at any level.
