Balcones Christmas Bird Count

Join us on Monday for the annual Balcones Christmas Bird Count (CBC). The Christmas Bird Count is the longest running wildlife census in the world and provides critical data on bird population trends and movements. The Balcones CBC is sponsored by the Travis Audubon Habitat Conservation Committee. The circle includes all the tracts of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding area (see the map on our website). We would especially like to have some feeder watchers this year, so if you live within the circle and have bird feeders, please participate.

For more information about CBC’s in general, see http://birds.audubon.org/christmas-bird-count.
