Felllow birders, You are cordially invited to participate in either or both of these Christmas Bird Counts. This year which marks the 67th occasion of the Wooster count (60th consecutive) and the 61st annnual anniversary of the Mohican count will be a good way of working off the Christmas Turkey or the New Year hang-overs. Although waterfowl season will be in during the Wooster CBC, we will not have to contend with deer hunters this year on either count except for possibly archers. In any case, if you are doing forest or off-road counting, hunter orange is advised.
