Mad Birders Conduct First Official Christmas Bird Count

Posted on Tuesday 7 November 2006

The 2006 Christmas Bird Count in the Valley will take place on Friday, December 15.  Nine teams of birders will be scouring the area looking for as many birds as possible.  This is the first official year for our new circle and we are very excited to be joining groups from all over the North American continent in reporting species and numbers of birds seen.  Teams will be out scouting their assigned areas in the next few weeks, looking for spots where birds seem to hang out. 

 We encourage people who have bird feeders to keep them full.  If you would like to join us in the Christmas Bird Count by counting birds at home or joining a traveling team, contact our coordinator, Bridget Butler at bbutler@audubon.org.
