Christmas Bird Count

We will meet at the FOH Building* at 7 AM. We will divide into groups and disperse to count all the birds we can detect in a 15 mile circle centered on Cook’s corners. Observers of any skill level can help for a half day or whole day.

*Directions to the FOH Building: From the visitor center parking lot, take the road just past the Butterfly garden up the hill. You may ignore the “authorized personnel only” sign. Pass the house on the right, follow the sign to the FOH AV room. The van is parked along the brick wall.

Dinner will be provided in the Visitor Center at 5:00 PM after the BIrd Count for those who register.

We also need help from anyone who has bird feeders inside the circle (see map below).  Feeder watchers should keep track of the maximum number of each species observed and how much time they spend looking.  For example, if you see three Chickadees in the morning, 5 at noon and four in the afternoon you would report 5 Chickadees so that you don’t count the same birds twice. 

Please email your observations to info@friendsofhagerman.org. 

Include all birds you see and time spent looking, rounded to the nearest half hour.
