Date: 4/10/24 8:58 am From: Vic Fondy <treasurecreek...> Subject: [sd-birds] West River Migration Count
The annual West River Migration Count (WRMC) dates are May 10-13, 2024 and I will be coordinating the count. Similar to the Audubon Christmas Bird count, the WRMC is conducted during the second week of May to count both species and numbers of birds migrating thru West South Dakota. The WRMC is conducted by counties. During the four day period, volunteers in Western SD from the Nebraska border to the North Dakota border will count migrating birds arriving or passing thru South Dakota.
County coordinators for 2024 will be Charlie Miller-Harding, Jocie Baker-Pennington, and Vic Fondy Butte and Lawrence. Coordinators/participants are needed for Custer and Fall River counties. Please let me know if you can participate in those counties. Forms and further information will be passed out closer to the count dates.
