  • Saturday, December 19 – Christmas Bird Count

    Join Athol Bird & Nature Club’s “Citizen Science” project, the longest continuously running bird data in the area. Contact Dave Small for additional information and to participate in this nationwide annual event: 978-413-1772 or Dave@dhsmall.net  Covid-19 rules are in effect National Audubon has issued guidelines which ABNC will use. In preparation zone leaders will need to think about how we can safely work our respective areas. Carpooling will not be allowed and only family members or social pod groups may count together. Social distancing and masking are required. All activities must meet local and state guidelines. With all this in mind feeder watching will be a huge part of this year’s count. Encourage your neighbors to begin feeding the week before the count (if bear activity is low) and consider other ways to safely count our area birds. Unfortunately our morning breakfast and compilation party will not be happening.  We will have a virtual compilation via Zoom so people can log on and relate the days sightings and events.
