Join us for a free presentation about the upcoming 2023 Bird Count for the Hilton Head area count circle. On Thursday, December 7th, we will convene at the First Presbyterian Church, Fellowship Hall, 540 William Hilton Parkway, with a reception at 7:00 pm, followed by a presentation at 7:30 pm by Bob Speare about the birds we might see on the count. 

The Audubon Christmas Bird Count is an early winter snapshot of bird populations.  It is the nation’s longest-running citizen science survey, providing critical data on bird population trends. Each count is done in a 15-mile diameter circle.  The count started in 1900 and has grown to include over 2,600 count circles in the Western Hemisphere. 

Our Hilton Head count will be on Friday, December 15th, 2023.  We identify and count all birds seen or heard in the 24-hour period. Birders of all levels are welcome to participate.

Members are invited to bring cookies for the dessert table.
