Christmas Bird Count
Western Cuyahoga Audubon
Society's Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is part of a three-week, nationwide effort
to monitor trends in bird populations. The official name of our CBC is the
Lakewood Christmas Bird Count.
We cover a fifteen-mile
diameter circle centered at West 214th St & Center Ridge Road in Fairview Park.
If you are new and would like to participate,
wonderful! Nancy can place you in your own area or have you join a group
already going out. If you participated in the past please let Nancy know what
people you will have in your group and area(s) you normally hit. Below are a
couple of areas WCAS wants to cover more thoroughly so if you want to change
areas or you know of someone that might be interested in walking or driving some
areas, let Nancy know.
If you wish to
participate in the count, contact
Nancy
Howell at (216) 231-4600 ext 3225
(work), (440) 891-1710
(home) or
e-mail
nhowell@cmnh.org.
You may also monitor you own feeders at home
if your home is within the count circle (see above).
Contact Nancy Howell if you have questions about the count circle.
We are looking for extra help this year to cover areas
which are not always covered and to cover areas where we are short handed.
Please contact Nancy Howell at (216) 231-4600 ext 3225

to help out.
We are also looking for people to bring chili, desserts, etc to our dinner.
Again, call Nancy.
