Feeder watchers are just as important as field observers.
A cardinal scrounges around on an icy patio table as morning snow begins to fall Dec. 15, 2022. Christmas Bird Counts — pre-established 15-mile-diameter circles in which participants try to find as many birds as possible in one day — are coming up, with several planned in the Lehigh Valley region.For the first time this fall, on this past Wednesday morning, the ground in our valley was white from a snow squall. It was pretty and I liked it but only because it wasn’t deep and wouldn’t last.
That morning a hunter who’s hunted here with permission for years got a really nice whitetail buck deer. Through the years many deer have been taken on our property but this 11-pointer with a really wide antler spread was one of the biggest I remember seeing.come up. These are pre-established, 15-mile-diameter circles in which participants try to find as many birds as possible in one day. They forward that data to a count compiler who sends it to the National Audubon Society.
You don’t have to go out and be a field observer to report birds you see. Feeder watchers are just as important, and many times some of the most unusual species found turn up in backyards.
