SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count\, Potomac River Shoreline
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 126th annual Christmas Bird Count! \nThe Christmas Bird Count (CBC) began in 1900\, a period of rampant hunting\, to promote the conservation of birds. Now organized by the National Audubon Society\, it is an early winter census\, where thousands of volunteers go out to count birds.  Open to people of all experience levels\, the CBC is a great opportunity to learn! \nFor more info about the Christmas Bird Count\, check out the National Audubon Society’s webpage at https://www.audubon.org/community-science/christmas-bird-count. Counts take place for one day in a given “circle\,” or territory. Several circles in Southern Maryland need volunteers. \nIf you’d like to help along the Maryland Shoreline of the Potomac River (Charles County) on January 4\, contact Lynne Wheeler at 301-751-8097 or somdaudubon@yahoo.com or reach out to Bob Lukinic at 301-283-6317 or rdlukinic@gmail.com.
