Please join us on Wednesday, January 19, at 6:30 PM for our virtual Christmas Bird Count wrap-up where we will find out the tally totals for the day – what was seen and where. Who was seen the most often and who was missing and a couple of birds not reported in previous counts. December 18 turned out to be a beautiful clear, calm, day. We are grateful to all of the participants who braved the cold and counted birds. Come prepared to share your experiences  and highlights of the day.  We would love to show your photos to the group.  Please email any photos to fluteplayer@centurytel.net by Monday, January 17.  We will share them on the screen and you can narrate.

This meeting will be broadcast over Zoom.  Use the following link to join the meeting.
