Realizing that not everyone has the time, desire, or ability to walk or drive to a birding location, we welcome and encourage Backyard Birders to join the Christmas Bird Count!
If you prefer to bird from your favorite chair with a cup of hot coffee or later on in the afternoon with a cold beverage of your choice, we have a great deal for you. You can contribute to the Christmas Bird Count by counting the birds you see from your backyard!
Backyard Birding is fun, especially if you have young children or grandchildren who want to help. To participate, email us at vcht.birding.team@gmail.com with your name and where you will be birding.
In addition to sharing your count list (e.g., four Green-throated Carib), there are a few other items that we will ask you for, such as the amount of time you spent counting and the number of persons in your party. It all happens electronically, however, so you can stay home!
Please join us and make the Christmas Bird Count an annual event in your home!
