This great event as described online borne to protest the side hunts before 1900
" The CBC began on Christmas Day, 1900. Previously, many families would have Christmas hunting competitions — known as side hunts — to see who could kill the most birds. Frank Chapman, an early Audubon officer, wanted to offer an alternative."
Chapman wound up becoming the curator directir of the American museum natural history bird exhibitions.
