This
past weekend many nature centers, birding groups and individuals
began to take part in the 113th
Christmas Bird Count – the longest-running wildlife census to
assess the health of bird populations and help guide conservation
action. Information here on the national Audubon site. From December 14 through January 5 tens of thousands of volunteers
throughout the Americas take part in an adventure that has become a
family tradition among generations. Families and students, birders
and scientists, go
out on an annual mission - often before dawn. For over one hundred
years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the
beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to leave the comfort of
a warm house during the Holiday season. Go to our TRC Facebook page to share stories about unique or unexpected bird species you saw!
