Christmas bird count 2012 Volcan Panama

CRISTMAS BIRD COUNT - VOLCAN CIRCLE
Sunday 16 December 2012

Since the Christmas Bird Count began over a century ago, it has relied on the
dedication and commitment of volunteer citizen scientists. In other words, it
all starts with you!

The count takes place within "Count Circles," which focus on specific
geographical areas. Each circle is led by a Count Compiler. Therefore, if you
are a beginning birder, you will be able to join a group that includes at least
one experienced birdwatcher. In addition, if your home is within the boundaries
of a Count Circle, then you can stay home and report the birds that visit your
feeder once you have arranged to do so with the Count Compiler.
MEETING PLACE & TIME:
Super Romero in Volcan at 6:30 AM, 16 December
