Bolivar Christmas Bird Count

"Five decades ago, when Bill Graber started the Bolivar Peninsula Christmas Bird Count in southeastern Texas, the brown pelican’s future was in doubt. The widespread use of DDT had made the birds’ eggshells too thin, causing the parents to unintentionally crack them during incubation. Despite these setbacks, the species could still be found in small numbers along the Texas coast—but Graber had never seen one during his annual tally. In 1977 his luck changed."

Tips For Organizing A Christmas Bird Count For Kids

Your Bird Feeder

Every year for over a century, “Christmas Bird Counts” (CBC's) have been organized across America through Audubon, mainly for adults, during mid-December and early January. Young kids with their families are often not included with this important 24 hour rigorous “citizen science” effort...so we created the CBC 4 Kids...and families... a stand alone half day event instilling some of the important basic ingredients of this grand old Audubon tradition.
