Christmas Bird Count

The Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) started on Christmas Day 1900 as an alternative to hunting birds.
Seneca Rocks Audubon Society established the Clarion CBC in the 1987 count year. It was held on January 2, 1988, with 17 participants and 44 species. It's been held annually ever since.
CBC 2025 will be on Dec. 20. It is our 39th consecutive count!
You are welcome to join us for the CBC, but only with advance arrangements.
For counting via carpool or hiking, please contact CBC Field Coordinator, Mal Hays.
For feederwatch counting, check the map to see if you're in the CBC Circle. If so or if you're uncertain, contact our CBC Feederwatch Coordinator, Cindy Bonner.
