2002 Christmas
Bird Count
Saturday, December 28
By Jim Valimont, Pittsburgh CBC Compiler
It's
that time of year again where members of the Three Rivers
Birding Club can assist the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania
with the annual Pittsburgh Christmas Bird Count.
The Pittsburgh Christmas Bird Count (CBC) has been conducted
for decades, and with continued participation, it will continue
for many more. Many of our members consider the count a
part of their own Christmas traditions.
Please consider helping in this worthwhile effort to gather
data on wintering birds. Birding experience is not a requirement.
Just having an extra set of eyes increases the efficiency
of each party in the field. If you prefer, you can also
participate in the count by watching your own backyard bird
feeder (as long as your feeders are located in the count
circle). Call one of the leaders listed below and volunteer
to participate in this years bird count.
This year, the Pittsburgh CBC is set for Saturday, December
28. Everyone is also invited to attend the annual count
dinner and tally meeting on Sunday, December 29. Dinner
starts at 6:00 PM at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve in Fox
Chapel. Bring a covered disk or salad or dessert that serves
10, or give a donation to help cover the cost of the dinner.
Immediately after dinner and dessert, the area leaders will
present their results.
