ARIZONA CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT SCHEDULE [2021-2022]
By Doug Jenness and Marceline VandeWater
The National Audubon Society has conducted Christmas bird counts since 1900. Volunteers throughout the Western Hemisphere go afield during one calendar day between December 14 and January 5 to record every bird species and individual bird encountered within a designated 15-mile diameter circle. These records now comprise an extensive ornithological database that enables monitoring of winter bird populations and the overall health of the environment. Participants are typically assigned to teams based on their bird identification skills and endurance. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the counts will be conducted with the appropriate safety precautions.
CBC map of all the Arizona circles is found here. Zoom in to the Arizona map and select circle of interest.
