Christmas Bird Count
Woodstock area. December 29, 2024. Huge thanks to all who participated!
The Christmas Bird count is an annual event organized by Birds Canada where thousands of volunteers across Canada survey their local area to create one of the world's largest sets of wildlife survey data. Birds Canada sends us a map of the Woodstock area where we collect data to add to their database.
We are sincerely grateful to all volunteers who participated in the Woodstock area Christmas Bird count. We had a total of 39 volunteer observers take part, with 9 field parties and 17 feeder watchers. We truly appreciate the knowledge, time and effort that goes into this project each year.
