And whether or not you are able to participate in a count circle, join us on December 14 at the Masonic Lodge for a
Christmas Bird Count Compilation Gathering
to thank all the birders and volunteers who help make the CBC so successful.
It will be after the Arcata Christmas Bird Count on
Saturday, December 14, at the Six Rivers Masonic
Lodge from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
We will provide a chili feed dinner and potluck, and encourage everyone to bring a favorite dish to add to the feast. We are also looking for extra help in setting up and running the food tables, as well as cleaning up afterwards. Please email Gail Kenny at
gailgkenny@gmail.com to volunteer.
Our December Program is Coming Up One Week Early!
Join us on Thursday, December 12, 7:30 p.m.
for an orientation on the upcoming Christmas Bird Count!
We will cover the basics of the CBC count circles of our area before the first count in Arcata on December 14.
Come and learn the history of our local counts as well as basic protocols and fun facts about bird trends over the years.
This is also a last-minute opportunity to volunteer for a count in your area, but you don’t have to wait
until the 12th to sign up.
RRAS conducts several counts, and whether you’d like to help out with one or all of them or simply contribute a quick thirty-minute backyard bird count on the day of your local count, it’s easy to sign up electronically.
Simply email Kathryn Wendel at president@rras.org to inquire about the circle closest to your home (or heart!), or email one of the circle leaders to sign up directly.
The meeting is at the Six Rivers Masonic Lodge, 251 Bayside Rd., Arcata. Coffee, treats and conversation at 7:00, meeting starts at 7:30.
Help create habitat for birds along the bay trail!
