Concord Christmas Bird Count: Volunteers Wanted

It's time for the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC). Across the country, thousands of volunteers participate in this citizen science project to help researchers understand how the birds of the Americas are faring. 

The CBC is divided into "count circles," each of which counts birds during a 24-hour period sometime between December 14 and January 5. 

SVT participates in the Concord Circle, which will hold its count on December 31. Volunteers can either join a field party or stay in the warmth of their homes and count visitors to a bird feeder.
