Participants are typically
assigned to teams based on their bird
identification skill level and endurance. The
count results are tabulated by the National
Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Help is
needed on many of these counts, so find one that
interests you and contact the compiler for more
information.
Too cold to come out on a
December or January day, compilers need help
from landowners for permission to access to your
property, birders will not trespass. How about
keeping a list of birds that you see in your
yard on that day (be a “feeder watcher”), or you
can join a team to cover a territory near your
home. (New birders are paired with veterans, so
you don’t have to be an expert.)
Beginners to experts are
welcome, maybe you know the area that a visiting
birder doesn't. If you’ve ever heard yourself
say, “Maybe it’d be fun to learn birds,” here’s
a great opportunity. Call the contacts listed
above to participate at any level.
