Listers: Several of the folks who counted birds for Danby last year and the year before will not be able to participate this year, so this is an appeal for folks to join us in Danby on Jan 1st. This coming Saturday we will he hosting a count warm-up session for those interested. Attendance Saturday is not required to join in the count on New Years Day, so if you can help during the count please let me know.
Here is our official notice from the Danby Area News: *Time to Count Birds Again* *The 117th Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is fast approaching and the Ithaca CBC will be on January 1 as usual. Danby resident Asher Hockett coordinates the Danby section of the CBC.* *The Danby Community Council will be hosting an informational meeting about the count at Town Hall on Saturday, December 17, at 10am. Asher will present an overview of the CBC for the first-time participants, and then we'll review the species found last year and begin planning for the January 1, 2017 count.* *All bird identification skills welcome; hot beverages and homemade apple fritters will be served!
