CBCs?

[dickfilby]

Duane, Gary, 

good info/commentary

My two cents:  

So long as Social Distancing is followed, I think there should be no reason to cancel the birding aspect of CBCs. Indeed, it may result in better coverage as birders could actually spread out more widely over the count circle.

However the associated social gatherings that often form part of Count Day could well be considered too risky.. plus, car pooling would be an unwise option, whether 'allowed' or not.  However, neither of these would seem to this birder at least to be a reason to not run the CBCs

Fingers crossed

Stay healthy all

I have been wondering about this for the past several months. I initiated the John Martin Reservoir CBC, and will comply with the National Audubon Society recommendations.

Hi all

I asked the National Audubon Society status of this year's Christmas Bird Count season:

• "Audubon is currently investigating whether a COVID-19 safe CBC can be conducted this season, and we should have an official decision soon."

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
