The 90th Buckeye Lake Christmas bird count will be this Saturday, December 15th. This Central Ohio count circle, which is centered on Buckeye Lake, includes south-central Licking County, northeast Fairfield County, and northwest Perry County. A couple excellent driving territories are available, including lake frontage, plus a metro park that needs walking coverage. Be sure to check out the website http://BuckeyeLakeBirds.info for a map, history of this CBC, and more. Plenty of waterfowl species are present, a black-crowned night heron was seen a few days ago, eagles, gulls, and more. Please drop me a line by Friday to let me know if you're interested in participating on the count and/or meet at 7AM at the Buckeye Lake McDonald's (SW quadrant of the I-70/SR-79 interchange) for territory assignments and/or breakfast.
