One more thing – Christmas Bird Count 2022
Sign-up – Science needs you!
Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is one of the longest running citizen science efforts. Birders count everything seen and heard within a 15-mile diameter circle over the course of 24 hours. There are two counts going on in Milwaukee County. These are organized counts – everyone must get a location designation from the respective organizer.
Schlitz Audubon organizes a circle in the northern end of Milwaukee county on Saturday, December 17. Contact Norma (robnz@att.net) for an assignment. If there are questions about the count circles, contact Norma.
Wehr Nature Center coordinates a Christmas Bird Count covering the southern portion of Milwaukee county on Sunday Dec 18 from 9-4. Contact Carol Howard for information and an assignment in the southern circle, carol.howard@milwaukeecountywi.gov
