North Carolina Christmas Bird Counts and South Carolina Christmas Bird Counts for 2009–2010
|
Take part in National Audubon's 110th Christmas Bird Count this season. The count period runs each year from December 14 through January 5. Look through the list of counts below and join the fun! If you'd like to participate in a count, contact the organizer listed in the table. Christmas Bird Counts are an excellent chance to join fellow birders of all experience levels, and allow you to participate in a tradition that dates back to 1900! Note that most counts require participants to pay a nominal fee charged by the National Audubon Society for record keeping and administrative tasks related to the counts. To locate a count in your area, look at the map of all Christmas Bird Counts in the Carolinas. You can also find a list of counts in Virginia at the VSO web site. Many count dates have not yet been received. If you are a count coordinator and your count is not listed here, please send the date to Kent Fiala. Also please send any date changes or corrections. | |||
