With my new move and not knowing enough people I was unsure of not counting where others had. I am just outside the circle for my area...I used to be right in the middle up north. My new years resolution....by next years count I will have many friends that will call me and say...Let's go count Eve!<br />Great job Susan, Your photos are stunning!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270942143171016829.post-70980390215700895732009-12-22T08:46:09.840-05:002009-12-22T08:46:09.840-05:00Susan, this is spectacular.

I told someone I was doing the CBC and their look back at me said it all...The sections are assigned by local, registered Field Naturalist Clubs. In our case, the count is a 15 km circle from downtown Pembroke. There are a few other count circles in our area as well, all duly assigned and noted. This is to control/prevent double counting by letting people count wherever they want, adn to make sure as much as a given area is counted, and not just the easiest or most accessible. They're always looking for new volunteers too...feeder watchers are also welcome. Just check with your local Field Naturalist Club.Susan Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155106135649887676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270942143171016829.post-5646977641475210822009-12-21T20:05:22.881-05:002009-12-21T20:05:22.881-05:00Yay Susan!

I've been paddling hard through my Facebook page, which is speckled with birders, and I had finally figured out what a CBC was (EVERYONE was doing it).
