Greetings SBCO Birders,
With December upon us, it is time to begin gearing up for the Santa Barbara Christmas Bird Count - to be held this year on Saturday January 4. Visit https://santabarbaraaudubon.org/santa-barbara-christmas-bird-count for more information. (Cutoff date for signing up to join a group for the CBC is Dec 21st) The purpose of this message is to remind you to get out scouting and be on the lookout for our more desired species, as listed below. (Or of course anything even more unusual!). If you have an assignment for the count, it’s very helpful to scout your location prior to the count.
Even if you are not participating in the count, you can help out by birding in the count circle and reporting your findings.
Please report sightings of these species within or near the SB CBC Count Circle via ebird, to SBCO Birding, or to me directly.
