This year marks the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count’s 124 th survey, continuing the longest running community science project in the United States. Venice Area Audubon’s participation began in the early years of our chapter and continues to add to the national assessment of the state of birds in our country. Our chapter’s Christmas Bird Count coordinator, Bob Clark, presents the purpose, outcomes, and significance of this annual survey, how it works and what we need as VAAS prepares for this year’s count on December 17, 2023.

All are welcome - members of the public as well as Venice Audubon Members.

Participants are strongly encouraged to follow current COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
