Our annual Christmas Bird Count will be on Sunday, December 31, 2023, dawn to dusk, rain or shine! Compilation will be held in person this year at the compiler's home starting at 5 p.m. 46th consecutive year of this count. The count area is a circle 15 miles in diameter, centered in the middle of Isabella Reservoir. Only species and numbers of birds seen within the circle may be counted. Individuals will be assigned smaller areas depending on coverage, some are on foot only. The results of over 2,000 counts in North America are compiled each year by the National Audubon Society and used to determine the annual distribution and fluctuation in numbers of North American birds. The Kern River Valley count is part of a continent-wide, citizen science, effort, with the published results used to assess the distribution and population of wintering birds. https://www.audubon.org/conservation/history-christmas-bird-count Many birders and scribes are needed
to achieve a good count and maintain our high nationally-accredited
standing. For the past few years, CBC participation has been free but registration is still required. Count Compiler: Alison Sheehey, please email all completed forms to Alison. *NOTE: The South Fork
