•Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are urging wildlife enthusiasts to join the tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the United States in the Audubon Society’s 111th Annual Christmas Bird Count, which will take place Dec. 14 through Jan. 5.
Local counts will occur on one day between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5. Volunteers can pick the most convenient circle, or participate in more than one count. There is a specific methodology to the CBC, but everyone can participate. The count takes place within “Count Circles,” which focus on specific geographical areas. Each circle is led by a “Count Compiler,” who is an experienced birdwatcher, enabling beginning birders to learn while they assist. Also, those who live within the boundaries of a Count Circle can even stay at home and report the birds that visit their backyard feeders, or join a group of birdwatchers in a local field.
To view instructions on how to search for a circle and sign up for an open count, visit the Game Commission’s Website ( www.pgc.state.pa.us) and click on “Wildlife” in menu bar at the top of the homepage, and then choose the “Christmas Bird Count” under the “Wild Birds and Birding” listing. Information also can be obtained from the Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count website ( Christmas Bird Count | National Audubon Society Birds), or on the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology’s Website ( PSOHomePage).
