December-January, 2011-2012 Christmas Count Schedule

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

Saturday, December 3, Daybreak
Great American River Bird Count
Compilers: Lea Landry, 638-1141 or llandry46@earthlink.net
Join Jack Hiele and other volunteers to assist with this annual count of birds and other creatures along the American River Parkway sponsored by the American River Natural History Association (ARNHA). Results of this count are important to future planning for the Parkway, and the goal is to have 12 teams of two or more persons each. The count differs from other Christmas Counts in that teams count species rather than total numbers of each species. Contact Lee for details, team assignments, and meeting and compilation locations.  Click here for results: 2010 Wild Life Count
