Join Menunkatuck Audubon Society as we participate in the 125th Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Every year, Christmas Bird Count volunteers collect valuable data on winter bird populations that augment scientific studies and aid regulatory decisions. Christmas Bird Count data was used in the recent Audubon climate report, Survival by Degrees and is used for the Bird Migration Explorer.

How to get involved: Birders of all levels are welcome to participate! More experienced birders may be assigned as a team leader, while those with less experience will be paired with an appropriate team leader. Anyone residing within the count area can submit “Feeder Watch” data from their own property. We will also need volunteers willing to help with publicity, data compilation, providing refreshments, and other tasks. 

For more information: If you would like to participate, please contact Sue Stark (sue@menuntatuck.org).
