Join The Clifton Institute for their annual Christmas Bird Count! Spend the day surveying the birds in their 15-mile-diameter count circle. This is a great way to meet other birders in the area and to see what birds have migrated here for the winter. The count circle includes a nice variety of habitats and we see a diversity of waterfowl and grassland birds. There’s always a chance for Short-eared Owl and American Tree Sparrow! Please contact Alison at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you are interested in participating. She will assign you to a team and each team will decide when and where to meet for the day. We’ll wrap up the count with a compilation potluck dinner at 5:30 at our headquarters. Hope we’ll see you there!

All skill levels welcome. Dress in layers for chilly, wet weather. Rain or shine!
