Help with the Audubon bird count

Dingmans Ferry — Schedule a day to get away from the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holiday season. Come on out to the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC)and take part in National Audubon Society’s century long tradition, the Annual Christmas Bird Count. Join Northeast Audubon birder, Pete Wulfhurst on Sunday, Dec. 20, from 7a.m. to 4 p.m. (originally scheduled for Dec. 27). Pete will assist PEEC’s birders in documenting all the bird species in a 15-mile radius around PEEC. Tens of thousands of birders participate in this event every holiday season all over the world. This is citizen science at the very grass roots level and an opportunity to be part of a nationwide survey. It’s a great day and participation could not be any easier. To register simply call PEEC at 570-828-2319, leave your name and phone number and we will get in touch with you with all the specifics for the day and the count.
