All Day
Field Trip Leader:
Everybody is welcome to participate in the Charlottesville Christmas Bird Count.
The Christmas Bird Count is a national survey of winter bird populations of North America run by the National Audubon Society. It has been in existence since 1900; the Charlottesville count began in 1924. All counts take place in a circle 15 miles in diameter. The center of the C’ville CBC is in Ivy. Normally we have about 20 teams going out on the day of the count with total participation about 60 people. We record every individual of every species we observe. At the end of the day we tally our observations, traditionally at a pot luck gathering. But as last year, the tally this year will take place virtually due to Covid precautions. Information about the virtual tally will be on the PVBC website.
A map of the Charlottesville CBC circle can be found at: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1eknucdD37OJCRPt6gr3EDPncw1fRhOQK&usp=sharing

If you are a newcomer – a beginner or an advanced birder or somewhere in between – please contact me if you would like to participate in the Charlottesville CBC on December 18.
