The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the longest and largest running community science project in the world! The data is open to all and provides information for research, planning and conservation. Whidbey Island has two circles each with a diameter of 15 miles. Volunteers are placed in teams, meet in the morning typically 8 a.m. and bird until 4 p.m. (daylight hours). Each team identifies and counts every bird that they see or hear within their zone. Once again because of COVID we will be cautious, wearing masks and practicing social distancing. We will not be meeting for any post tabulations or potlucks.

North Whidbey Circle will participate on Saturday, December 17. Previous team leaders will be contacted by Jay Adams. New volunteers can contact Jay by clicking on his name which is hyperlinked to his email address, Jay Adams.
