The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count is the longest running organized citizen science project in the United States. Join Dubuque Audubon field trip leaders as we split into groups to identify and count birds within a 10 mile radius of Center Grove Methodist Church, Dubuque, IA. Sectors include Swiss Valley, Mines of Spain, City of Dubuque, Western Dubuque, Deere Dike/north of Dubuque, Dubuque Airport, and western Grant County. Meet at EB Lyons at 8 AM. All skill levels are welcome. As we move between locations, you can carpool with leaders or drive separately, depending on space and preference. Compilation will be at 5 pm at Swiss Valley Nature Center in the main floor meeting room, followed by a potluck. All data will be submitted to the National Audubon Society and used to track trends in bird diversity.
