Christmas Bird Count

Feb 11, 2015 by Stephanie

Join Friends of Glen Providence Park in our 5th year participating in the Christmas Bird Count, the world’s longest-running Citizen Science survey!  Researchers and conservation biologists use the data to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America.

It’s a wonderful way to slow down for a morning and take a break from the holiday rush. You can read our reports from the 2011 CBC, 2012 CBC, 2013 CBC, and 2014 CBC. Join us this year!

Logistics:

– Rain, snow or shine!
– * Please note the location- we will meet at the 3rd & West Street park entrance. *
– Be prepared for steep hills and rugged, possibly muddy terrain.
– Experienced and novice birdwatchers welcome, just remember this is an official census so we will be working- if you can call walking in the park and admiring wildlife working!
– Of course, bring your binoculars and bird guides!

Friends of Glen Providence Park will submit our results to the CBC Compiler for Delaware County.  We will also post the results on our website!
