SAS Christmas Bird Counts 2025

Come and join in on the fun during one of our area’s Christmas Bird Counts.  The Christmas bird counts are an opportunity for beginning to expert birders to get together for the day, and share this holiday tradition.  If you are unable to join a count for the entire day, another option for participation is to be a feeder watcher.  Please contact the compiler if you would like to be a feeder watcher for one of the counts.

For more information, contact the area count compilers. Please Contact the area compiler before the count, as this will give them the opportunity to plan and organize the count before the count day.  Participation in all counts is free.
