Join Menunkatuck Audubon Society as we participate in the 126th Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Every year, Christmas Bird Count volunteers gather valuable data on winter bird populations that support scientific research and help regulatory decisions. Christmas Bird Count data was used in the recent Audubon climate report, Survival by Degrees, and is also used for the Bird Migration Explorer.

How to get involved: Birders of all skill levels are welcome to join! More experienced birders may be designated as team leaders, while those with less experience will be paired with an appropriate leader. Anyone residing within the count area can contribute “Feeder Watch” data from their own property. We also need volunteers to assist with publicity, data collection, providing refreshments, and various other tasks. 

For more information, please get in touch with Sue Stark (sue@menuntatuck.org).

You can register to participate here.
