The 57th Denver Christmas Bird Count will be held on Saturday, December
18th.
Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in the annual Denver
Christmas Bird Count (CBC) sponsored by the Denver Field Ornithologists and
the National Audubon Society. The Denver count circle is centered on the
entrance to the old Ken Caryl Ranch in the SW Denver metro area. To
participate, call one of the Area Leaders listed below to assist in a
particular area, or call the Count Leader (contact info below) if you would
like to help in an area that still needs additional observers. After a day
in the field, all participants are invited to attend the short compilation
meeting to feast, warm up, chat with other birders, and find out how the
count fared. It is a lot of fun. The Compilation meeting will be at the
Carson Nature Center (Santa Fe & Mineral Ave, between the Light Rail parking
and the Platte River) at 5pm. Feel free to bring a dish or desert to share!
Fees: Each observer over the age of 18 must pay a $5.00 fee to participate
in the Denver CBC. Participants should pay the $5.00 fee to their Area
Leader before taking part in the Count. Checks should be made payable to
National Audubon Society, not to DFO.
The 15-mile diameter "count circle" is subdivided into 24 "count areas" each
with a leader. Area locations and names and phone numbers of Area Leaders
are listed below. Participants should contact Area Leaders for meeting times
and places on Count day, Saturday, December 18.
