BARRIE CBC SATURDAY DECEMBER 20, 2025Every year Nature Barrie club members and other birders from beginners to experts join together to count the birds in a clearly defined area in and around Barrie. This is the 126th year for the count started by the Audubon Society in 1900.
The Barrie count circle is divided into 9 areas and each area is looked after by a leader who assigns the counters to teams and each team is given a specific area within the section. Then the fun begins. Starting around 8:00 a.m., the count generally lasts until about 2 to 3: p.m. with a break for lunch. Team leaders determine meeting places and start times and team composition placing beginners with experts.
Afterwards counters meet to tally results and compare notes at the pot luck supper. (Please see Meetings schedule on our web pages https://bfnclub.org/ for further information).
Participants must register no later than Dec. 8, with Bruce Wilson by email 2022barriecbc_at_gmail.com, (copy address and replace _at_ with a .) who will distribute people (both beginners and experts) among 9 groups, each with a leader. Please provide your email address, a cell phone number in case your team leader needs to contact you and let me know if you have participated in our count before and in which area. Please indicate if you are a novice, intermediate or expert level of birder and if you would be willing to lead a team if necessary.
