Victoria Christmas Bird Count
Victoria Christmas Bird Count
December 14, 2024
Victoria Region
Everyone is welcome!
The Victoria Christmas Bird Count is on Saturday, December 14 this year. You don’t need to be an expert birder to participate. Novices will be teamed up with more experienced counters as much as possible. Anyone can help out by acting as a tally person or as a spotter. Most teams spend all of the daylight hours out in the field, but there is room for people who can only spend part of the day too. Come out for as long as you can!
