*The Black River Audubon Society Christmas Bird Counts (CBC) Needs You!!!*


The longest running citizen science project will take place again this
December as local birders take part in the BRAS-organized Christmas Bird
Counts.


The CBC was originally started in the year 1900 to draw people away from
traditional bird shootings. Since then, the CBC has been held around the
country and plays an important part in tracking bird populations.


This year’s Elyria-area CBC will take place Saturday, December 17, 2016 and
will be organized by Marty Ackermann. He may be reached at* 440-774-3220
<440-774-3220> *if you wish to take part.


The Wellington-area CBC will take place Saturday, December 30, 2016. The
leader is Diane Devereaux, call *440-458-2440 <440-458-2440> *to join her
team.


* Please call the leader of the count you wish to take part in. You do not
have to be an experienced birder to take part in the event. * *For more
