The Audubon Societyâs annual bird count wasn t going to be missed this year. Early Saturday morning, a group of nearly 10 people met at SCICON to count the birds as part of a collective international effort to track the bird populations globally.
For three weeks, in December and early January, bird watchers around the globe go out into nature to count and log different species of birds.
Nancy Bruce, Lead Teacher for SCICON, explained the SCICON count, as well as the Circle J Ranch count that happened later Saturday afternoon, were part of a larger effort of the Springville Christmas Bird Count Circle that encompasses all of the land area in a 7.5 mile radius of the Springville area. Â
