This year marks Audubon’s 124th annual Christmas Bird Count, continuing the longest running community science project in the United States. Venice Area Audubon’s participation in the CBC began in our chapter’s early history and we continue to add to the national assessment of the state of birds in our country. Bob Clark, VAAS’s Christmas Bird Count coordinator, presents the purpose, outcomes, and significance of the annual survey as our Audubon chapter prepares for this year’s count on December 17, 2023. Bob will also discuss opportunities for more VAAS members to become involved in this important community science effort.

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.
