The Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC), the nation’s longest running community science bird project, fuels Audubon’s work throughout the year. Occurring annually in over 2,500 locations across the Western Hemisphere, this winter marks the 120th CBC and we invite you join us for FCS’s 3rd Annual Christmas Bird Count.  

Like last year, this all-day count, hosted by our staff and friends of FCS will expand its range to our Lee Tartt Nature Preserve boundary.  Whether a novice or lifetime birder, the CBC is a great opportunity for all backgrounds to engage and learn our winter bird species, while highlighting the importance of community science projects for measuring long-term trends in species’ abundance through time. 

We will meet at the LTNP entrance sign as close to 6:30 am as possible. Coordination, camaraderie, and compilation will continue throughout the day.

This event is FREE and open to all ages and skill levels. NOTE: We will be in the elements for several hours hiking, so please dress and plan accordingly.
