Count Leader/Compiler: Joey Kellner (303-978-1748), [email protected] Compilation (and potluck) meeting: 5:00 pm, South Platte Park classroom, 3000 W. Carson Dr. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the annual Denver Christmas Bird Count (CBC) sponsored by the Denver Field Ornithologists and the National Audubon Society. The 15-mile diameter "count circle" is subdivided into 24 "count areas" each with a leader. Area locations and names of Area Leaders are listed below. To participate, call or email the Count Compiler (contact info above) and I will provide the contact info for the Count Area Leader for the particular area you are interested in. If you would like to help out in an area that still needs additional observers let me know as I have several areas that could use a few more birders. You don't need to be an expert, beginners are always welcome!
Area Leaders will provide specifics (meeting time, place and other information) for their areas. After a day in the field, all participants are invited to attend the 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: None! National Audubon Society has now eliminated ALL fees for participants! So, no excuses! Come have a great time and help count birds! The 24 Count Areas are listed below.
