SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count 2024 - Northwestern Gloucester County
DESCRIPTION:\nThis nationwide citizen scientist mission\, orchestrated by t
 he National Audubon Society\, has been underway for 125 years! Our local c
 ount is a 15-mile diameter circle split into 13 different areas (see map b
 elow) each with an area leader and good complement of assistants.\nThe lea
 ders and their colleagues will venture out\, some starting in the wee hour
 s for owls and other nocturnal things\, in an attempt to count all birds t
 hey can identify through sight and sound. One may help for as long as you 
 would like\; all day\, half day\, a few hours\, or maybe even only owling 
 as some do - if your group does it. Participation time may be arranged wit
 h your leader. Experience is not necessary. There should be enough “seas
 oned” birders in the group to assist you in identifying. In fact\, I kno
 w most birders are thrilled to share their experiences and knowledge! This
  is how most of us learn!\nYes it can be cold\, but that is part of the un
 iqueness. Flannel lined jeans are definitely advised. A good lunch\, warm 
 gloves or mittens and a pair of binoculars are helpful. Experience is not 
 necessary! We have experienced birders waiting to help and teach.\nThis ye
 ar again we will be doing the 'feeder watch' if you can't join us yet you 
 are in the count circle. Sometimes some birds are seen by feeder watchers 
 that escape those birders out beating the bushes!\nCome one\, come all! We
  would love to have you and would cherish the help.\nCompiler\, Ron Kegel\
