December Field Trip
Sauvie Island Bird Count (CBC)
Washington Side: Sunday December 27th, 2009
For two weeks before and two weeks after Christmas, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas will take part in an adventure that has become a family tradition among generations. The SAUVIE ISLAND CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - WASHINGTON SIDE is scheduled for Sunday, December 27.
Please join us in helping to make a difference!
Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists participate in this annual mission. For more than one hundred years (since December 25, 1900!), the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to leave the comfort of a warm house during the Holiday season and help with this project. To learn more about the history of this honored tradition, check out the website at:
