December-January, 2012-2013 Christmas Count Schedule

Counts sponsored by Sacramento Audubon Society:
You are encouraged to help in the local counts - please contact the coordinators.

Saturday, December 1, Daybreak

The 28th Annual American River Natural History Association (ARNHA) Wildlife Count

Compiler: Lea Landry, 638-1141 or llandry46@earthlink.net

Join Lea and other volunteers in this annual count of birds and other wildlife along the American River Parkway. Results of this count are important for use in future planning for the Parkway. 12 teams of counters cover all areas of the Parkway from Nimbus Dam to Discovery Park on foot or in canoes. This count differs from Christmas Counts in that the teams count species of birds, rather than the total numbers of Species. Contact Lea (above) for details and team assignments.
