Hi Folks, It's November 1st and winter bird counting season is just around the corner. We've updated the directory of Audubon Christmas Bird Count dates and contacts across the state, and have made them available as a pdf download. You can download the directory by visiting: http://www.audubonohio.org/bsc/cbc.html Special thanks to Ned Keller, who collaborated with me to update the list this year. You'll also be able to find CBC and Winter Bird Count dates at: http://www.ohiobirds.org/calendar/winter_counts/winter.php Once your winter birding appetite has been whet, another great opportunity is the Winter Bird Atlas which will help birders gain a better idea of wintering bird distributions across the state. You can learn more about the Winter Bird Atlas by visiting: http://www.bsbobird.org/winter-bird-atlas.html May your fields be filled with longspurs and Snow Buntings, and your feeders visited by grosbeaks and redpolls this winter!
