Please join us at Springbrook Nature Center for the annual Christmas bird count (CBC). Interested folks meet there at 7:30. Here is what the National Audubon Society says about the CBC:
Each of the citizen scientists who annually braves snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count makes an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations – and to help guide conservation action.
From feeder-watchers and field observers to count compilers and regional editors, everyone who takes part in the Christmas Bird Count does it for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition — and with the knowledge that their efforts are making a difference for science and bird conservation.
Springbrook Nature Center is located at 100 85th Avenue NW in Fridley, adjacent to the Northtown Shopping Center. For more information on the Center, or for directions, follow this link.
If you cannot go to this event, but are interested in participating in a CBC elsewhere, a list of the counts in Minnesota is available here.
