Consider participating in the 2002 CBC (also called the Christmas Bird Count), a long-standing program of the National Audubon Society, with over 100 years of citizen science involvement. This event is part of an early-winter bird census, where volunteers across Vermont, the US, Canada and many countries in the Western Hemisphere, within a 24 hour period to count birds. Whether contributing as a feeder watcher or as part of a team observing birds in a designated sector, all are welcome.
