SUMMARY:Newton Christmas Bird Count - 2021
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count
  in Newton.  This year’s annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) in Newton t
 akes place on Sunday\, December 19th starting around 8 am.  This is the 1
 22st year of the CBC and helps to measure changes in population of our avi
 an species (and perhaps more global trends such as climate change). Perhap
 s you have heard that North America has lost more than 1 in 4 birds in the
  last 50 years. How do we know?  Partially from the annual Christmas Bird
  Count!\n\nSmall teams will be organized which will cover designated locat
 ions around the Newton area.    The groups will be convening at 1 Raebu
 rn Terrace\, Newton Highlands at 8 am before heading out.  Please come on
 ly if you are vaccinated and wear a mask.  There will be an owling team w
 hich will be heading out from the same location at 5 am for the early bird
 s.\n\nPlease sign up ahead of time and depending on the number of voluntee
 rs\, you will be assigned to a small group with a leader.  Leaders will t
 urn in their results which will be consolidated into an overall Newton cou
 nt which will in turn be consolidated to the overall Greater Boston Count.
 \n\nThe most common question of course is “how do you know you don’t c
 ount the same bird twice?” Well you can’t know for certain but we try 
 our best! Your questions about the count can probably be answered at https
 ://www.audubon.org/conservation/join-christmas-bird.  If you might want t
 o tune up your bird ID skills\, check out Pete Gilmore’s video photo tal
 k about Birds at Cold Spring Park at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBm4X
