Hi folks, I thought I'd add to the flurry of postings on upcoming CBCs. The Greene County count will take place on December 29th this year. This is only the third year for our formal count, so we're particular eager to build the ranks of able spotters. The count territory includes Glen Helen, plus John Bryan State Park, Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, and several county parks, including Narrows, Creekside, and Indian Mound Reserve. The Little Miami River bisects the count circle. In 2010, we found 5926 individuals representing 51 species In 2011, we found 2607 individuals representing 47 species Everyone who has participated reports that it was the best time they ever had. Ever. If you'd like to join us, please RSVP to me. Participants will convene at Trailside Museum (505 Corry Street in Yellow Springs) at 8am; tally rally is scheduled for 2pm.
