Christmas Bird Count – December 18

In December 2021 Audubon will celebrate its 122nd Christmas Bird Count. The Prairie Oaks Master Naturalist Chapter will celebrate its fourth year participating in this approved citizen science project.

An important thing to know about the Christmas Bird Count is you don’t have to be an expert birder to participate. In fact it is a fun way to learn about your local birds from the group. The teams are made of spotters, recorders, drivers, birders and photographers. All are needed to make a team complete. So don’t let your birding skills or lack thereof deter you from joining in the event. We do need, however, at least one good birder on each team to provide positive id. Fellow birding members it’s time to raise your hand so we can get you on one of the teams this year.

Our chapter count will be held December 18^th 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please contact Chris or Dayna Inbody to let them know you are interested in joining this year we have room for a few more volunteers if you are interested. The contact information is inbodyd@gmail.com .
