SUMMARY:Join the Audubon Christmas Bird Count in Newton
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nThis year’s annual Christmas Bird Count
  (CBC) in Newton takes place on the Ides of December starting around 7 am.
   After all\, the early birder gets the birds counted! This is the 120th 
 year of the CBC and helps to measure changes in population of our avian sp
 ecies (and perhaps more global trends such as climate change).  Perhaps 
 you have heard that North America has lost more than 1 in 4 birds in the l
 ast 50 years.  How do we know?  Partially from the annual Christmas Bird
  Count!\n\nIn Newton\, birders will meet at 7 am at 1 Raeburn Terrace in N
 ewton Highlands (Raeburn is off Hillside which is off Walnut). Owlers (the
  real early birds) usually meet at the same location at 5 am. The group us
 ually hits a few good spots and tries to call in the owls. At 7 am\, group
 s will be formed to go off to various open spaces throughout the city to c
 ount all the birds that they see. The most common question of course is "h
 ow do you know you don't count the same bird twice?" Well you can't know f
 or certain but we try our best! Beginners are welcome to accompany some of
  the more experienced birders (bring binoculars and dress warmly).\n\nMost
  of the counting is done in the morning. You are welcome to join the count
 ing even for a short time if you like. Tallies are made by afternoon and c
 onsolidated with tallies from other areas within a 15 mile Greater Boston 
 count circle. Your questions about the count can probably be answered at h
 ttps://www.audubon.org/conservation/join-christmas-bird- If you are intere
 sted in joining the count this year\, please email Pete Gilmore(petegilmor
 e79@gmail.com).\n\n\n\nIn addition to the Newton event on December 15th\, 
 Audubon's 120th Christmas Bird Count continues through January 5th.  See 
 the Audubon Website for details.\n\n[caption id="attachment_2408" align="a
