White Rock Christmas Bird Count Help Needed

Good morning everyone, 

Christmas is just about upon us and so is the White Rock Christmas Bird Count. For the Langley Field Nats, this will not be new news as I hear Gareth, John, and Sheila have been keeping everyone updated. For those of you who are just about to put the date in your calendar, this year the count will be on Dec 28th, the Saturday after Christmas. As usual we will be heading out rain or shine so dress warm. As I remember last year, we had rain pelting in the window and clearing the other side of the truck! The afternoon turned out to be quite nice and we had a couple of good birds at the end of the day, including a Hutton’s vireo up at Langley Memorial Hospital. We will put a request in for better weather.

This year, please note the location change to the McDonalds on the South West corner of the intersection at 216thand Fraser Hwy. We will be meeting at 7:30am to get you organized into groups and off at 8am. If you have any questions, please contact John Gordon at 604-533-7171 johngordonone@gmail.com or Michael W Klotz at 604-861-1677 mklotz@tybo.ca. Please pass along the email to any people you think would like to join us. We can always use more volunteers.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
