Save the date! This will be the 9th official CBC at the SW Allen circle. We need field observers to cover the 6 territories in the circle, plus any number of feeder watchers, as long as you live within the count circle. Although Fox Island County Park is still closed because of the storm damage, they have generously allowed us to use the Nature Center for our chili lunch, to take place around noon. Everyone is invited but we'll need to know how many to expect.

This event furnishes a lot of valuable data to the National Audubon Society, but mostly it's fun!

Let me know if you can take part this year!
