Christmas Bird Count

Sunday, Dec 15, 2019

8:00am – 7:00pm

Join us for our annual Christmas Bird Count! We’ll spend the day surveying the birds in our 15-mile-diameter count circle. This is a great way to meet other birders in the area and to see what birds have migrated here for the winter. The count circle includes a nice variety of habitats and we see a diversity of waterfowl and grassland birds. There’s always a chance for Short-eared Owl and American Tree Sparrow! Please contact Alison at azak@cliftoninstitute.org by Thursday, December 12th if you are interested in participating. She will assign you to a team and each team will decide when and where to meet for the day. We’ll wrap up the count with a compilation potluck dinner at 5:30 at our headquarters. Hope we’ll see you there!

All skill levels welcome. Dress in layers for chilly, wet weather. Rain or shine!
