Alexandria Christmas Bird Count

December 28, 2022 @ 7:30 am - 4:30 pm

Free

The National Audubon Society invites birdwatchers to participate in the longest-running community science survey, the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC). On Wednesday, December 28th, birders and nature enthusiasts in Alexandria will take part in this tradition, many rising before dawn to participate.
The count requires many volunteers to count in the field and from their homes at their feeders to be successful, so please consider helping out this year. If you are interested in participating in the field there is no better way than to get grouped with a more experienced birder. The things you see and learn will be worth your time and those sightings help researchers around the world. We meet at the Lake Carlos State Park Visitor Center at 7:30am on 12/28 where we will assemble our teams and after the count we always meet back there for a few snacks and to share stories from the day.

Interested birders must arrange with the count compiler in advance to participate. To sign up for the local count, please visit/contact Ben Eckhoff, Benjamin.eckhoff@state.mn.us, (320)852-7200. To look for a count circle near you go to Audubon’s map of CBC circles here. Using the map you can contact the circle compiler to arrange to participate.

The Audubon Christmas Bird Count is a free community science project organized by the National Audubon Society, and also Birds Canada in Canada. Counts are open to birders of all skill levels and Audubon’s free Bird Guide app makes it even easier to learn more. For more information and to find a count near you visit www.christmasbirdcount.org.

Prairie Lakes Audubon Chapter is the local Chapter of National Audubon Society for anyone interested in birds and nature. We have regular informal meetings and birding field trips. Please join us at one of our upcoming meetings. More information can be found at https://www.facebook.com/prairielakeschaptermnaudubon or by emailing PrairieLakesAudubonMN@gmail.com
