After some time for socializing, eating, and drinking, there will be a presentation on some of the recent Christmas Bird Counts that took place in the Calgary area. Matthew Wallace will present the results of the Calgary Count, Gavin McKinnon on the Priddis Count, and Jim Washbrook on the Fish Creek Park New Year’s Day Count. The presentation starts at about 7 pm.

  2. I love learning about all the different birds that people spot around Calgary, and it’s amazing to see the results of the Christmas Bird Count in an easy-to-understand way.

    Those photos are fantastic, especially the Common Redpoll – I wouldn’t have guessed they were scarce this winter! Seeing almost a hundred on the count sounds incredible.
