Procedures for Count: Select a circular area on the
ground (may include water area), 15 feet in diameter, to include feeders,
bird baths, shrubs, etc., as you wish. Imagine the circle extending upward
as a cylinder. Count the numbers of individual birds of each species which
come into this circle (or cylinder) during exactly ONE HOUR. Try to judge
as best you can the actual number of individuals which are making visits
to the Circle, or which fly through the imaginary cylinder. Try NOT to
count the same individual bird over and over again. Please print clearly
the number for each species in the In Circle column. If you wish to report
any, seen outside the Circle, list them in the "Outside" column.
Pick any ONE-HOUR period during the day --and make the count
on Thanksgiving Day! Please send your count results (even if you see no
birds at all) to:
