Christmas Bird Count

For may years, Nature Regina's members have participated in the annual Christmas Bird Count. Groups from across North America particpate in this activity, which has in now in its 112th year. For some of the history and importance of this activity, go to the Audubon Christmas Bird Count web page.

This year, Nature Regina is hoping to increase the number of participants. To start, we've changed from our traditional Boxing day date to December 27th. We are also encouraging as many members as possible to participate is by taking part of the day to record counts of birds at their bird feeders. You don't need to leave home to help (although the more the merrier on the field trips, too.

To help people birding at home, Kim Mann has prepared a quick checklist of the most common winter birds. Download a copy here, and mark December 27th on your calendar.
