Christmas Bird CountsSunday, December 15: Grand Junction Count
Sunday, January 1: Mesa Count As an addition to the Grand Junction count, Nic Korte organizes a special count for Western Screech Owls. If you are a real early bird and wish to count owls early Sunday morning, please email: nickorte1@hotmail.com. Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of level of experience. Teams are being formed by area leaders. The Grand Junction CBC requires registration, whereas you can just show up for the Mesa CBC on New Year's Day and teams will be formed then. To register for a Grand Junction CBC team, refer to the count circle map and choose an area that interests you. Some areas may already be filled so have a second or third choice. Register Here |
