Hi, all.
The *Barnegat Christmas Bird Count* will be held on *Sunday, January 5, 2025*.
This is the 125th Christmas Bird Count, the U.S.'s longest-running community science project. Data collected by CBC participants is invaluable to researchers studying the long-term health of wintering bird populations. The Barnegat count was first conducted in 1925 and the count area includes all of Long Beach Island and the mainland from Barnegat south to Parkertown. It also extends about 7.5 miles offshore, and we are once again planning a CBC mini-pelagic weather permitting.
This event is open to veteran and newbie birders as well as feeder watchers within the count circle.
We will meet at the Stafford Diner after the count. The address is 1388 Route 72, Manahawkin. Get in touch if you want to participate, and please let me know if you want to join the pelagic team and/or attend the count dinner.
