The 116th annual Christmas Bird Count is scheduled for Dec. 14, 2015 to Jan. 5, 2016. Organized by the National Audubon Society, this all-volunteer effort takes a snapshot of bird populations to monitor their status and distribution across the Western Hemisphere. The results are compiled into a database that is shared with federal, state and private authorities. Past data can be viewed at the Audubon’s website. Counts are open to birders of all skill levels. Novices are placed in groups with more experienced birders. New to CBCs? Join us in the fun! Discover new areas to bird which may not be normally accessible and take advantage of this great opportunity to bird with some of our foremost birding experts. Be part of a long-standing holiday program that ultimately helps protect our extraordinary birds!
Both John Bunker Sands Wetland Center and the Trinity River Audubon Center will start with 5:30 a.m. owling. You do not have to be an experienced birder to help! All participants are invited to the countdown dinner at 6 p.m. to compile the final numbers at John Bunker Sands Wetland Center. Dinner is provided with an RSVP. For more information and to volunteer, please contact Melissa Malone at mmalone@audubon.org or 214-309-5815.
