Denver Christmas Bird Count (CBC)
Joey Kellner
The Denver metro area has
a number of Christmas Bird Counts (CBC).
ALL CBCs cover habitats within a 15-mile diameter Count Circle. Hugh Kingery mentioned the Denver Urban, and
I will plug the original Denver CBC (started in 1954 and run continuously since…except
for last year due to COVID).
The Denver CBC will be held on Saturday, December 18. All CBCs can use LOTS of volunteers to help and many people help out on more that one or two. The Denver CBC has habitats ranging from urban, plains and foothill riparian, foothill, canyon, and reservoir. So, much (and varied) habitats that the Count Circle is subdivided into 24 “Count Areas” (see map below) each with a leader and hopefully WONDERFUL volunteers like YOU! Registration can be done through the DFO field trip webpage https://dfobirds.org/ The area numbers on the map below correspond to the field trips on the DFO website.
If you are not available to help on the 18th, PLEASE consider helping on one (or more!) of the many other CBCs being conducted all over Colorado.
Joey.
