Mendocino Coast Audubon Society

On Monday, December 27, bird watchers and nature enthusiasts, armed with binoculars, bird guides, and checklists, will try to count all the birds they can identify from Little Valley Road to Big River. They will be joining tens of thousands of birders across the Americas who will brave the uncertain weather (or stay home and watch a feeder) to count every bird of every species they can find in one day, as part of the annual Christmas Bird Count.

If you think this sounds like fun, you're right! The Mendocino Coast Audubon Society invites you to join us, no matter what your level of birding experience. Everyone who takes part in the Christmas Bird Count does it for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition, with the knowledge that their efforts are making a difference for science and bird conservation.

To find out how you can participate, contact Tim Bray at 707 734 0791 (tbray@mcn.org) for the Fort Bragg count. View a map of the count circle here.
