Good Morning: Christmas Bird Count mobilizes volunteers

Interior Audubon societies plan for pandemic-friendly Christmas Bird Counts

This December marks the 60th year of the Arctic Audubon Society’s Fairbanks Christmas Bird Count. Like many traditions, organizers have made adjustments to the event this year to account for pandemic safety. The Christmas Bird Count is an annual tradition for thousands of volunteers working with local Audubon societies all over the Northern-hemisphere. On count day, field observers cover an assigned area to record bird species, numbers and observation efforts, while feeder watchers count the largest number of each species of birds observed at any one time on count day.  The Fairbanks count will take place Dec. 19. Count week, where additional species sightings in the count area can be recorded and added to the list of species observed, runs from Dec. 16-22. In a change for this year, count compilation will take place in a Zoom meeting on Dec. 20.

Christmas Bird Count already underway

Christmas Bird Count already underway Staff Reports INDIANA The Indiana Audubon Society is inviting nature enthusiasts to participate in the National Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count (CBC) from Dec. 14 through Jan. 5. Birders of all ages are welcome to contribute to this nationwide citizen science project, which provides ornithologists with a crucial snapshot of our native bird populations during the winter months. Each individual count is performed in a count circle with a diameter of 15 miles. In most count circles, some people also watch feeders instead of following routes. The Audubon Christmas Bird Count utilizes the power of volunteers to track the health of bird populations at a scale that scientists could never accomplish alone. The tradition of counting birds combined with modern technology and mapping is enabling researchers to make discoveries that were not possible in earlier decades.
