Every year for over a century Christmas Bird Counts have organized across America mainly for adults during mid-December and early January. The Junior CBC is a stand-alone half-day event held to bring together birding families. The data from this count will be compiled to help ����logo track the progress of imperiled species and gauge the impact of environmental threats to birds and habitat.

The Yolo ����logo Junior Bird Count will be held on Sunday, January 22, 2012. There are three different levels of participation: kids and young adults 8-15 with an interest in birding (knowledge not required); leaders with good local birding knowledge (any age); parents and other volunteer drivers.

“The event is perfect for any kid who loves the outdoors,” said Dan Taylor, executive director of ����logo California. “It offers a chance to learn about birding in a fun, family-friendly way.”

The group will meet at the Yolo County Historical Museum (Gibson House), 512 Gibson Road in Woodland, at 9 am on Sunday, January 22. Please bring snacks, layered clothing, binoculars and field guides if possible and a pencil. Bird checklists will be provided. There are a limited number of binocular pairs for loan. The count will run for a maximum of two hours, reconvening back at the Gibson House for a compilation and some prizes. Participation is free.
