Greenwich-Stamford Christmas Bird Count
Each year, Greenwich Audubon Center participates in this annual tradition to monitor winter bird populations throughout North America.
Teams of birders head out on a predetermined date in December to count as many individual birds as possible in a given count area within 24 hours. All of the data compiled is submitted to ornithologists who conduct vital research on the health of our winter bird populations.
There are two ways you can participate:
1. JOIN A COUNT TEAM
Teams will be assigned to different areas within the count circle, Greenwich Audubon Center, and count birds by foot and car during the count period. Some teams will begin counting before dawn to count owls and will continue until 5 p.m.
2. CONDUCT A FEEDER-WATCH
You can participate in the Christmas Bird Count at home by counting birds at your backyard feeders during the day! Simply complete the checklist provided to you by Audubon and submit it by 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 15.
All count participants are welcome to gather at Greenwich Audubon Center at 5 p.m. to compile results and enjoy a complimentary dinner.
For those interested in participating at Greenwich Audubon Center, contact Ted Gilman at tgilman@audubon.org or 203 930-1353.
For those interested in joining a team in your neighborhood or conducting a feeder-watch, contact Cynthia Ehlinger at cynthia.ehlinger@gmail.com or 203 219-1963.
