*Count Leader/Compiler: *Joey Kellner (303-978-1748), SWDenverBirding at
gmail.com <SWDenverBirding...>
*Feeder Coordinator: *Bob Shade wrshade3 at gmail.com <wrshade3...>
– Feeder watchers, please send your list of species and numbers of each

*Potluck Coordinator: *Laura Steadman lauramsteadman at gmail.com
<lauramsteadman...>;
All are encouraged to participate in the annual Denver Christmas Bird Count
(CBC) sponsored the National Audubon Society.
*Fees: *None! So, no excuses! Come have a great time and help count birds!
Beginners and experts all welcome!
POTLUCK and COMPLILATION:
After a day in the field, ALL participants are invited to attend the
compilation potluck meeting to warm up, chat with other birders, and find
out how the count fared. It is a lot of fun. We will start gathering
around 5:00pm in the multipurpose room at the Chatfield State Park
headquarters on the south side of the lake near the Heronry Overlook (*State
Parks vehicle entry pass required**). *Contact Laura Steadman (lauramsteadman
at gmail.com <https://groups.google.com/> ) and let her know what you will
be bringing (or ask her what items she needs more of). Bringing food is NOT
a requirement to join in the fun! The compilation itself will start closer
to 5:30pm when a representative f all areas arrive/report in with their
sightings.
The 15-mile diameter “count circle” is subdivided into 24 “count areas”
each with an Area Leader. To participate, please contact the Area Leader
(see below). If you would like to help in an area that still needs
additional observers, call the Count Compiler (contact info above).
