ARIZONA CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT SCHEDULE [2022-2023]

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. Many counts hold a compilation dinner at the end of the day where results are tabulated, and stories shared.

CBC map of all the Arizona circles is found here. Zoom in to the Arizona map and select circle of interest.

Pre-CBC workshop - A Webinar by Tucson Audubon Society designed for new and seasoned CBC participants and area leaders will be held Friday December 2nd., find all details here.
