Christmas Bird Count - 2024

Event date: Saturday, December 21, 2024

This year’s Christmas Bird Count will be the 125th edition of the storied event. The CBC is the quintessential example of citizen science at work. Members of Benzie Audubon have been involved with the program since the mid-1960s. Once again, John Ester will organize the feeder counts while Doug Cook will coordinate the club’s efforts in the field. They will be in contact with individuals who have participated in the past but are always looking for more help. Anyone with an interest in participating, either in the field or at a feeder on that date, should send an email to Doug at nedthebirder@gmail.com or John at jester625@earthlink.net. They will provide details for participation and individuals can be placed in existing groups, if that’s preferred.
