"That soft autumnal time, the woodland foliage now is gathered by the wild November blast." -- John Howard Bryant
Dear Brooklyn Bird Club member,
The annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is the nation's longest-running community science bird project, where birders across the continent conduct a bird census that helps Audubon and other organizations assess the health of bird populations and guide conservation actions. This year's count will be held Saturday, December 16th.

The Brooklyn CBC count circle is made up from 12 different count sectors that includes parks, cemeteries, and significant coastline on the bay and the ocean, and there is a team for all skill and commitment levels. Grab your binoculars and come out and join us.
Please contact the Teams Organizer, Bobbi Manian, to join a team. The cut-off for team registration is December 13th.
