If you have never done a Count before, the best description is an all-day census of birds within a predefined 15-mile diameter circle. The Dallas Count Circle is centered near the intersection of Inwood Road and Cedar Springs. Dallas Audubon has divided the larger circle into 12 smaller zones for easier canvassing by teams of birders. Info: Reba Collins, rcollins20@verizon.net or 972-530-2412.

Children of all ages are invited to make biodegradable bird treats ahead of time and bring them to the event to hang in the Garden’s Grove, providing food for wildlife and a little holiday cheer. Music, entertainment provided. Free.
