The Monroe, MI Christmas Bird Count will be conducted on Sunday, December 16, 2012. This coincides with the National Audubon Society 113th Christmas Bird Count.
The big news this year is that the count is FREE! There will no longer be a $5 entry fee for participants. However, there will also no longer be a 'printed' report issued by NAS. Instead, the results will be viewable by all on the web. Participants will have the ability to view all results and provide photos of their count day experience.
I will again be coordinating the count in Monroe, this year. So please let me know if you're interested. Everything you need to know is available on the links to the right of this column. Send me an e-mail if interested.
