Learn the ABC's of a CBC!

Is this your first time on a Christmas Bird Count (CBC)? This workshop will set you on the path for success. Did you know most counts in southern Illinois are almost a 30-year tradition? As a CBC participant, you will coordinate with your local compiler prior to the count date. At this workshop, we will go over National Audubon Policies, local count circles, and practice how to count. Attendance is recommended for first-time CBC volunteers. 

Sessions will be held on the following dates:

November 10, Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, 8588 IL-148, Marion, IL 62959
November 13, Rend Lake Project Visitor Center, 11981 Rend City Rd, Benton, IL 62812
