The annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) began in 1900. It is an annual winter census of birds across the Western hemisphere. This bird survey is one of the two largest long-term data sets used to estimate bird population trends.
This event is a great chance to meet others and share your bird watching skills or learn more from experienced birders. The AuSable Valley Audubon coordinates two “circles” and we will be out counting birds on Wednesday the 18th and Saturday the 21st.
TAWAS: Christmas bird count is December 18th for the Tawas Circle. The Group will meet at Big Boy at 7:00 am, and at the Lodge for lunch at 12:30.
OSCODA: Christmas bird count is December 21st for Oscoda. Group will meet at Mama’s Kitchen at 7:00 am and at Taits Bill of Fare for lunch at 12:30.
If you want to participate, call Larry VanWagoner at 989-701-5470 to sign up.
