It's that time of the year again when folks across North America participate in the annual Christmas Bird Count. Volunteers getting out counting the various species of birds they come across and the total number of birds they see. All that important information gives us a sense how the birds are doing compared to the previous years. If you want to participate, check in with your local organization, here in the Bow Valley it's the Bow Valley Naturalists and the date of the count is December 19. In the mountains you just need some warm cloths, few snacks and a binocular is helpful, in my case a camera. In the end of the day, no matter what is your birding experience is, you will come back with little more knowledge about out feathered friends.
Until next moment,
