114th Annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count Events
Date: TBD
Time: 8:00 am to 4 pm (Mountain Standard Time)
Where: Escalante Interagency Visitor Center, Hwy 12, Escalante, Utah
Date: TBD
Time: 8:00 am to 4 pm (Mountain Standard Time)
Where: Kanab Visitor Center, Hwy 89, Kanab, Utah
Date: TBD
Time: 7:30 am to 4 pm (Mountain Standard Time)
Where: Glen Canyon NRA HQ, Hwy 89, Page, Arizona
Description: From December 14 through January 5 tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas take part in an adventure that has become a family tradition among generations. Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists go out on an annual mission - often before dawn. For over one hundred years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to leave the comfort of a warm house during the Holiday season.
Each of the citizen scientists who annually braves snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count makes an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations - and to help guide conservation action. This year's count will help help scientists understand the impact of the Gulf oil spill on vulnerable species.
From feeder-watchers and field observers to count compilers and regional editors, everyone who takes part in the Christmas Bird Count does it for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition -- and with the knowledge that their efforts are making a difference for science and bird conservation.
Admission is free. |
