Greetings SoCal Birders! You are cordially invited to participate in the 125th National Christmas Bird Count, and specifically the 44th annual Lancaster Christmas Bird Count! That means Mary and I will have compiled this CBC for 24 years! The count is sponsored by the LA Audubon Society, and the data is organized in an on-line database by the National Audubon Society. To view last year’s results, check “audubon.org”, and follow the prompts. I can easily send you an Excel file, if you want to see Lancaster 2022 only, or all 43 previous years.

LeConte’s Thrasher, Mountain Bluebird, Mountain Plover, Prairie Falcon; and less frequently one or more of the longspurs and / or a Golden Eagle are amongst the feathered fare seen (by someone!) on this count. And all participants will likely see Nick’s famous brownies. To inquire about participating, please contact us directly; or get a hold of your teammates from last year and contact us.
