Audubon’s 117th Christmas Bird Count will take place this fall/winter between the inclusive dates of Wednesday, December 14th, 2016through Thursday, January 5th, 2017.

The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is a long-standing program of the National Audubon Society, with over 100 years of citizen science involvement. It is an early-winter bird census, where thousands of volunteers across the US, Canada and many countries in the Western Hemisphere, go out over a 24 hour period on one calendar day to count birds. Since the Christmas Bird count began over a century ago, it has relied on the dedication and commitment of volunteers like you. From beginner birder to advanced, everyone can participate!

The California King Tides Project is asking members of the public to photograph extreme high tides along their local coastline to highlight how coastal homes, infrastructure, and ecological habitats may be affected by future sea level rise.
