Christmas Bird Count - Volunteers Needed!

The Audubon Society's Frank Chapman proposed the first "Christmas Bird Census" on December 25, 1900. For the past 110 years, Christmas Counts have become a major factor in tracking the health of bird populations across North America. Why not become a "Citizen Scientist" and get involved this year?

With Christmas Bird Counts in Midland and Bay City fast approaching, we are looking for volunteer counters to help out. To sign up as a volunteer for the Midland or Bay City count (or both), please contact the following:


Bay City Count: December 18
Contact Jeanne Henderson: (989) 684-3841

Midland Count: January 2

This is 111th year of the Christmas count and we are looking keep this tradition alive and well in the Great Lakes Bay Region. You don't have to be an expert birder or have prior experience with bird surveys. All helpers are welcome!
