SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Annual Christmas Bird Count.\nThis will be the 50th time that our chapter has taken part in this event. Our local count day is planned for December 20, 2025.\nField counting will be done the same way as last year in that the local compiler will assign territories to count participants.\nBoth experienced birders and novice birders can help by being a field counter on the day of the count. Those with little or no experience will be paired with a more experienced person. Field counting is mostly done from vehicles with some walking done in appropriate areas.\nObservations at BIRD FEEDERS are an important part of Christmas Bird Count data. To be a feeder counter you must be within our official count circle which extends seven and one-half miles out from its center in Read Park in Freeport.\nIt is important to contact the local CBC compiler if you would like to be either a field counter or a feeder counter in this year’s Christmas Bird Count. Call Richard Benning at 815-865-5279.\n
