Speaker: James Wheat, CBC Compiler for the Jacksonville CBC
Christmas Bird Count this year will be our historic 75th consecutive year in Jacksonville. This important annual bird census is the nation's longest-running community science bird project. It started in 1900 when ornithologist Frank Chapman, an early officer in the then-nascent Audubon Society, proposed a new holiday tradition, namely a “Christmas Bird Census” that would count birds during the holidays rather than hunt them. Duval Audubon started conducting CBCs in 1949.
Join us to learn more about the history of this important bird census and how you can help with this year's count on December 28th!***Please note: You must register for this program via Zoom link.***
