The Christmas Bird Count will take place this Saturday, December 31.
The Bird Count is a national volunteer event. Every species and bird is counted. Results are tabulated throughout the United States. The results are an indication of how well or poorly the bird population is doing.
The Sunshine Birding and Nature Group has participated in this event for many years. We will assemble at the Gazebo on Texas Avenue at 7:30 a.m. We will be divided into groups with assigned areas to cover. We need bird identifiers, bird sighters, and tally keepers. No special talent is needed for the last 2 jobs listed. We will go out on foot, in golf carts, and in cars. Bring binoculars.
This event is open to anyone in the community. Please join us. For more information contact Ralph Peterson.
