Join the Palo Alto Christmas Bird Count on Monday Dec 15th!
The Palo Alto Count Circle encompasses territories both in Santa Clara County and San Mateo County, ranging from the bayshore through suburbia to the foothills with their grasslands and woodlands. See a map of the Count Circle here.  Monday Dec 15To volunteer or get more information, send an email to <paloaltocbc...>
The annual Christmas Bird Count (held around Christmas-time, but not on Dec 25th!) is a fun and meaningful way to contribute to one of the longest-running community science projects in North America. We can find a place on CBC teams for all levels of birders, from beginners to experts--but of course, we especially need people skilled in identifying birds. Â
 Learn more about the CBC and the 4 counts sponsored by the Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance at the webpage:  https://scvbirdalliance.org/christmas-bird-count (That webpage also has info on 3 workshops we're offering to help participants get started in CBC and to gain confidence in it.)
And.. the San Mateo Bird Alliance sponsors 2 Count Circles--
