Description
|
Oakland Christmas Bird Count Spend a fun day outdoors with a team counting individual birds and species, and contributing to our understanding of bird populations! Both beginners and experienced birders welcome. About the Christmas Bird Count Annual Christmas Bird Counts, sponsored by the National Audubon Society and conducted by volunteers, are held throughout the U.S., Canada, and many countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. The counts attempt to record every individual bird encountered within a defined 15-mile diameter — about 177 square miles — during one calendar day. Collectively, the Christmas Bird Counts are the largest and longest running citizen science project in the world, and the data from the CBCs have been used in numerous scientific studies. Count Area – The Oakland count circle extends from Treasure Island northeast to the San Pablo Reservoir in Contra Costa County, and south to St. Mary’s College in Moraga and the Oakland International Airport. (That includes not just Oakland but the cities of Alameda, Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany, Orinda, Moraga, and Lafayette.) With its wide variety of habitats, the Oakland count typically records more than 170 bird species. View a MAP of our Oakland count areas. New to Christmas Bird Count?
