Winter Bird Count
:
Count birds in all the Hamilton County parks, instead of the typical 15-mile
circle.
Everyone is invited to join this annual census of the birds living in our 21 Hamilton County Park District parks on Saturday, December 12. Park District staff and volunteers will be available to lead groups at all parks. We could use able volunteers from the birding community to be count group leaders too, as well as counters. The count goes from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and at 4:15 p.m. there will be a grand tally of all of the birds and refreshments will be provided. At the tally, birders will also share their experiences, comments and any unusual sightings. The public is invited to attend the grand tally whether or not they have counted birds that day. Bird counters will have a chance to win door prizes! Bring binoculars if you have them. Deadline to register is December 11.
