On January 2, 2012, a brand new Christmas Bird Count (CBC) will be conducted in and around Pagosa Springs, in SW Colorado. Organized by the local Audubon chapter, Weminuche Audubon Society, the count will cover 14 zones within a 15-mile-diameter circle centered on Trujillo Road near downtown Pagosa Springs. Beginners and experts are all welcome to participate in the CBC. Stay-at-home feeder-watchers within the count circle can also contribute valuable data. For more information or to join the count, contact Beverly Compton via email or by calling (970) 731-3471.
Each year since 1900, Audubon members and bird lovers across the continent have given one day of their holiday season to tally every bird they can find within pre-determined count circles, contributing valuable data to bird studies worldwide. It’s also a lot of fun! For information on other CBCs in Colorado, or to register for a CBC, visit the following Audubon website and click on Colorado: https://netapp.audubon.org/cbcregistration. |
