The 115th Audubon Christmas Bird Count will take place at the Sunriver Nature Center on Jan. 3. Volunteers are needed to participate in field walks, and to count the birds at your own backyard feeders. Volunteers will record every individual bird and species seen in a specified area. Counters will monitor a 15-mile radius around Sunriver. This is a citizen science project organized by the National Audubon Society and the longest running wildlife census on the planet.

Field participants will meet at 7 a.m. at the Pozzi Building at the Sunriver Nature Center. There is no fee to participate. Those with little birding experience will be paired with experienced birders.
