Audubon Christmas Bird Count, Dec. 22, 2018, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
“I never for a day gave up listening to the songs of our birds, or watching their peculiar habits, or delineating them in the best way I could.”
~John James Audubon~

Thanks so much for your comments about my photo of the bird watchers. Here is an explanation of their activity:
“For birders, winter is the time to stock up on suet, bundle up for nature walks, and participate in one of the biggest community science efforts of the year: the Christmas Bird Count (CBC). From mid-December to early January, more than 2,000 groups across the hemisphere head outside to tally species within a 15-mile radius.
The annual Audubon-led census is one of the longest-running bird-monitoring projects in the world. Its data has helped researchers gauge how species will adapt to climate change and highlight shifting population trends in rare and common wildlife.”
