Always a popular event, Compiler Bart Wickel and Emmett Iverson host the Bird ID workshop in preparation for our 51st annual Putah Creek Christmas Bird Count (CBC). Bart will share data and trends from previous counts, touch on the impacts of climate change and fire history on the count. Emmett will lead a session on helpful tips on bird ID.
BART WICKEL has been birding Yolo County for almost 9 years now and is serving as a compiler for the Putah Creek Christmas Bird Count for the first time this year. EMMETT IVERSON grew up in the count area and is one of the eBird reviewers for Yolo County.
The CBC is scheduled for Sunday, December 19th. Our 15-mile diameter count circle centers on Putah Creek and is divided into ten different areas, each with its own plan regarding coverage, teams, start time, and method of travel (car, foot, hiking, bike, etc.). Up-to-date information about the count, contact information for the Area Leaders, and Covid protocols is here on the Yolo Audubon website.
