It’s Christmas Bird Count Time! This early-winter bird census is a National Audubon Society community science program that relies on volunteers across the Western Hemisphere to go out over a 24-hour period on one calendar day to count birds.

We have four local Counts in this region – plenty of opportunity to add to the 120-year strong tradition. New or inexperienced birders will be paired with more experienced groups, and fun is almost guaranteed! See below for more details. 

The next counts to be held are:

Wednesday, January 1, Pawling, NY Christmas Bird Count. Email Compiler Carena Pooth for details and to sign up at pawlingcbc@watermanbirdclub.org.

Saturday, January 4, Putnam County Christmas Bird Count. Email Compiler Charlie Roberto for details and to sign up at chasrob@optonline.net.
