Christmas Bird Count

This December, the National Audubon Society is organizing its 123rd Christmas Bird Count.  This is when volunteers conduct bird counts all across the country.  These counts take place from December 14, 2022 to Wednesday, January 5, 2023.  Each count occurs within a 15 mile wide diameter circle.  The nearest one to us is the Princeton Circle, although there are others.  The Princeton Circle includes some of Pennington and Hopewell.

Please visit: https://www.audubon.org/conservation/join-christmas-bird-count for more information.

If you live within the circle, you can register to be a feeder counter if you would rather not go outside.  You can stay at home and report the birds that visit your feeder on count day. 
You must register with the count compiler to participate, email Brad Merritt if you want to help (balmerritt@aol.com)  Visit the National Audubon Society website for more details.

This is a great way to help the Audubon Society gather information about bird species in our area and it is FREE to participate.
