The Audubon Christmas Bird Count is the world’s oldest and longest running citizen science project. Every December for the last 117 years, teams of dedicated birders spend a day surveying the birds in a 15 mile diameter circle.
Pilchuck Audubon has conducted the Christmas Bird Count in Edmonds for 33 consecutive years. We’ve put in a lot of effort on many dark and stormy days counting the birds; but, what have we learned? What species are declining? What species are increasing? Have new species moved into the area?
Please join Rick Taylor, the co-compiler for the Edmonds Christmas Bird Count, for the November Pilchuck Audubon Program meeting, as he uses the 33 years’ worth of data to answer these and many other questions about our birds.
