SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Spend time in your favorite places watching birds—then tell us about them! In as little as 15 minutes notice the birds around you. Identify them\, count them\, and submit your counts to help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world. If you already use eBird or Merlin\, your submissions over the 4 days count toward GBBC. \nSee more info at https://www.birdcount.org/

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count 2025
DESCRIPTION:The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is one of the highlights of our bird club’s year. Sunday\, December 14\, 2025\, is the date for the WBC’s 49th CBC. We had 131 participants in last year’s CBC\, held just three days before Christmas Day. Many people were out of town\, so we hope the earlier date this year will allow more people to join in. Also\, if you remember\, last year’s count day was brutally cold. So\, let’s cross our fingers for better weather this year. If you’re unfamiliar with the Audubon Christmas Bird Count\, click this link to learn how it got started. Every year the count occurs December 14 through January 5. Since 1901\, Christmas Bird Counts in the U.S. and around the world have provided scientists and orni- thologists with information to identify trends in bird populations that can only be determined by LONG-term data. That’s why it’s so important to continue these studies EVERY YEAR. The CBC is an early- winter bird census. \nFor the first time\, you can sign up online for our Christmas Count and your preferred sector – or if you want to count your backyard birds. To sign up for a sector for the 2025 Christmas Bird Count for the Williamsburg sector\, please go to https://mobilize.us/s/AcJlIy

SUMMARY:Spring Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:In some ways\, the spring count is easier than the Christmas Bird Count:\n\n\n\nWarmer weather — thank goodness!\nLonger daylight \nLess data to collect! We only want bird species and numbers of individuals. No need to count miles/hours walked or driving. Phew! We do not have to report   to National Audubon\nDifferent birds! Most of the winter ducks will be gone and some spring migrants and breeders will be here. Last spring we tallied 19 warbler species and a total of 153 species! WOW!\n\n\n\nThe 12 sectors are the same:\n\n\nCheatham Annex\nCollege Woods\nFords Colony\nGloucester\nHog Island\nJamestown\nJolly Pond\nKingsmill\nMiddle Plantation\nSkimino\nWaller Mill\nWarhill\n\n\nAt the end of the day\, we still want to know who participates on each team as well as the feeder counters.\n\nIf you participated recently (spring or Christmas counts)\, we hope you’ll join in again April 27 — in the field or at your feeder!\n\nI’ll be in touch with the Sector Leaders and ask them to reach out to their usual participants. And of course Feeder Watchers are important and needed.\n\nLook for more info closer to the date. I hope you’ll join us for one of the highlights of our Bird Club’s year.\n\n\nContact Shirley Devan if you have questions or want to join in for the first time.

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:From Cornell:\nEach February\, for four days\, the world comes together for the love of birds. Over these four days we invite people to spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them to us. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations.\nSee how you can help!

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count 2024
DESCRIPTION:We need you for our upcoming Dec 22 Christmas Bird Count (CBC). Last year\, 100 folks helped tally over 29\,000 birds on our CBC day—a record-breaking day for some species counts! \nWhat will we find this year? Rarities? High counts? Each count provides surprises. \nOur CBC has 11 sectors\, each with an experienced birder assisted by one or more volunteers. Plus\, over half of our contributors are feeder watchers. The boundaries of our count circle are shown in the map that accompanies this article. You can help on December 22 by joining a team in the field\, by counting birds at your feeders and yards\, or both. If you can help out\, please respond to Shirley Devan at shirley_devan@icloud.com to let her know your preference: out in the field\, feeder watcher\, or hybrid (some time for both). \nEvery year the count occurs December 14 to January 5. Since 1901\, Christmas Bird Counts in the U.S. and around the world have provided scientists and\nornithologists with important data and trends on bird populations that can only be determined by LONG-term data. That’s why it’s so important to continue these studies EVERY YEAR. The CBC is an early-winter bird census.
