Golden bird watchers are encouraged to join with birders across the western hemisphere and participate in one of North America’s winter-time traditions, the annual Christmas Bird Count, in Golden on December 27th.
We are looking for participants of any and all skill levels in bird identification, so tell your friends. You can contact organizer and compiler, Ellen Zimmerman and decide how you want to participate. There are lots of options. Go along with an experienced birder and help to record. Cover a specifically allocated territory on your own or with family and friends. Stay home and cozy, watch and record your feeder.
We count a circle, with Golden as the centre, that includes Hartley and Adolf-Johnson Rds, most of Moberly, Kicking Horse Ski area, Nicholson and as far south as the north end of Horse Creek and Austin Rd.
For those who have participated before, please let Ellen know if you will be available this year and your preferences for participation. And please forward this to anyone who might be interested. Thank you.
Mark December 27 on your calendar and contact Ellen for more info: ellenzim@uniserve.com or 250-348-2225
