Every year from December 14th to January 5th, the official count period for the Christmas Bird Count, thousands of birders in the Americas participate in counting birds in their area,
contributing to the knowledge of bird populations and trends. Please join us in this important
activity which helps to further our knowledge about wintering birds
on Cape Cod. Go to National
Audubon's website for more information about the Christmas
Bird Counts and for results of past counts.
Several members of the Cape Cod Bird Club participate locally in this event. This is an all day event where
people count every bird in an assigned count circle. Each circle is a 15 mile radius. Within each
circle there are several teams assigned to certain areas.
If you would like to participate contact one of the count leaders below. You can participate for a full
day or half day. You can also participate from home by counting birds at your feeders. Check with the count
leaders to see if your home is within one of the count circles.
