Join the Arctic Audubon Society on December 27th for the 65th Fairbanks Christmas Bird Count! Registration is FREE and birders of all levels are invited to help!From the Arctic Circle to the mountain valleys of the Andes, tens of thousands of people are gearing up to take part in the world’s longest-running citizen science project, the Christmas Bird Count. Birders of all levels have been braving the elements to count birds during a three-week period each year since the count began in 1900. Even though the count is somewhat loosely organized, having 125 years of data on bird species and numbers document important trends.
If you live inside the Fairbanks count circle, you can count birds coming into your feeder. But you don’t have to live inside the count circle to participate in a field team! It’s fun to join other birders to count our avian neighbors, and it contributes valuable scientific data.
If you are interested in participating, please contact the Regional Coordinator Laurel Devaney at [email protected].
There will be a compilation potluck after the count at 5:30 pm at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fairbanks, 4448 Pike’s Landing Road, Fairbanks, AK. Feel free to join us and bring something to share!
