This year marks the 121st National Audubon Christmas Bird Count. There are many CBCs across the state of Texas. The counts are to be held between December 15th and January 5th. A listing is provided online at Houston Audubon (houstonaudubon.org)
The Ft. Worth CBC has been held every year since 1958. The count circle is centered in White Settlement (near Clifford Street and Comal Avenue.) There are 17 teams covering 17 areas in the 15-mile circle. Many of the teams need volunteers to help count species and numbers of each. Most of the teams begin just before dawn. The day ends at sunset and we meet at the Ft. Worth Nature Center for a review of the data and a cold dinner (provided by the chapter!) If you can only take part for some of the day let Michael know and he will place you with the best team.
Contact Michael if you would like to take part in the national citizen science project.

Meet at Home Depot on the SE corner of I 20 and South Cooper at 7:15 AM. Then proceed to the Southside WTP

We will need 2 volunteer drivers. The roads can be a bit rough in places. We always see some great birds. Lots of water fowl, birds of prey and passerines. We almost always see a Crested Caracara and a bald eagle! What will the next surprise be? Come and find out!
Since we will be in close quarters while carpooling your driver may request that you wear a mask while in the car and you must be vaccinated for COVID in order to participate. Please be prepared to show the card you received showing proof.
