The Mad Birders are preparing to participate in the 113th annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count!  Join us in the fun starting with a planning pot luck supper at 6PM on November 29th in Waitsfield.  Our count will be held on Friday December 14th from 8am until 4pm in Waitsfield, Fayston, Moretown, Warren, Duxbury and Northfield; followed of course by another pot luck supper!  We will count birds no matter what the weather!  Mad as we are, we have counted them during snowstorms and in temperatures as low as 5 below zero, but then again it might be 50 degrees and sunny.  This autumn has already been a great one for birding with numerous sightings of Pine Grosbeaks and Common Redpolls.  You never know what species might turn up for the Christmas Bird Count.  For details call 496-4730 or email info@madbirders.org.
