Sunday, December 15 is the scheduled date for the annual Peterborough Christmas Bird Count, the longest operated citizen-science wildlife survey in Peterborough. It is an annual tradition for area birders and naturalists. The count covers an area contained within a circle of
7 ½ miles centered on Chemong Road and Sunset Blvd. The count area is divided
into ten sectors with a sector leader(s) coordinating coverage in that sector. The
Christmas Bird Counts were established in 1900 by the National Audubon Society
and organized across the continent by them. Birds Canada plays an important
role in supporting counts across Canada.

Preregistration with the count compiler, Martin Parker at [email protected]
or 705-745-4750 is required in advance so the field parties can be balanced.
Feeder watchers are also welcome and encouraged. More details will appear in
December issue of The Orchid.
