Be part of our nation’s longest-running citizen science project—the Christmas Bird Count! Volunteer birders throughout the western hemisphere join in this winter bird census, and you can take part here in Land Between the Lakes. Both experienced and beginner birders are welcome. We’ll meet at Nature Station and organize into teams to include everyone. Then head into the field to look and listen for birds! You can go out for just the morning or spend the full day. All data goes to National Audubon Society’s science programs which track long-term trends in bird populations. Bring a sack lunch and meet back for our lunch-time roundup of the morning’s sightings.
