Bird Count Itinerary
|
The
Christmas Bird Count is a wonderful opportunity to get involved
with a national birding survey!
|
| The
annual Salt Plains CBC is tentatively scheduled for Saturday,
December 16, 2006; 7 am until dark. All levels of birders
are invited.
The
count area is a 15 mile diameter circle with the refuge
at the center of the circle.
Anyone
who wants to participate should be at the refuge headquarters
by 7 a.m. At that time, groups will be organized and areas
assigned. Bring a sack lunch and binoculars.
There
is a $5.00 participation fee to support costs of management,
data compilation and results publication. All participants
will recieve the CBC issue of American Birds.
For
more information, contact Lloyd or Glenda Leslie (580) 363-0237
or cynthiaoder@4grc.com.

Feeder
Watchers also needed! As a feeder watcher, you
would count the largest number of each bird species that
visited your bird feeder at any one time during the day,
December 16. (For example, if 2 chickadees came at one time,
then it'd be 2, but if 3 chickadees came later, then it
would be 3 (not 5).) If you plan to be a feeder watcher
on Dec 16, please call or email using the above contact
information.
