All those interested in going on one of the counts should call or email the leader for more info and/or to signup for that count. Everyone is encouraged to support the CBC by donating the $5.00 fee. The count fees collected during each CBC help cover the cost of generating materials for compilers, producing the annual CBC summary issue, and maintaining the CBC Web site and database. Only those paying the $5.00 are reported as participants in the National Audubon CBC. The count leaders are responsible for collecting this money.
Tallies from our annual CBC will be combined with counts taken throughout the nation to help determine bird distribution and population trends. Birds will also be counted in Central America to keep track of migrants. You can also stay at home and count birds in your backyard, be sure to count for at least two hours. – then email Hugh Jennings at hughbirder@earthlink.net or phone 425-746-6351 and leave a message with your results before 5 p.m. on Dec. 15. All results will be tallied at the dinner following the count.
After the bird count, counters are invited to join us for a warm, wholesome meal. Dinner is served at 6:00 p.m. and will be held in a private home. Space is limited only to count participants. Cost is $5.00, which includes dinner (vegetarian and meat), dessert and drinks. Please call the office (425-576-8805) for dinner reservations.
