The
Audubon Society is looking for volunteers who want to take part in
the annual Apalachicola Christmas Bird Count that will be held on
December the 27th and December the 28th in our
area.
The
Christmas Bird Count is the oldest and largest wildlife survey in the
world.
You
do NOT need to be an expert on birds and bird identification to take
part.
Each
team of birders will have a leader that is an expert, and he or she
will be responsible for identification of the birds.
There
will also be one to three helpers for each team who are responsible
for recording data and spotting birds.
If
you agree to take part, you may start before sunrise so you can count
owls, and end your day around sunset.
But
the data you collect will help provide information on the numbers and
types of birds in our area and will help with national and
international studies on trends in bird populations.
You
can get more information and sign up on-line.
We've
posted the link on this story at oysterradio.com and on the Oyster
Radio facebook page.
The
bird count is very popular and space is limited so sign up as soon as
you can.
