Red Cliffs December Events

> Dear Red Cliffs Audubon Members and Friends:
> December is again our busy month with Christmas Bird Counts, and a great 
> month just to get out and mingle with fellow birders and see what winter 
> birds are in the neighborhood.  Following is our scheduled events for 
> December:
>
> Saturday, December 4: Field Trip: Sand Hollow, Quail Creek, and Hurricane 
> Fields - Meet at the BLM interagency office at 8:00 am.  Bring Scopes, if 
> you have them, for scanning the reservoirs, and of course your field guides 
> and a lunch.  It should be a good time for scouting out birds before the 
> Christmas Bird Counts, and for finding waterfowl (Including perhaps some 
> Scoters that have been moving through).
>
> Wednesday, December 8: General Meeting: Winter Bird Identification.  Meet 
> at the Tonaquint Nature Center at 7:00 pm.  Recommended especially for 
> those participating in the CBCs.
>
> AREA CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNTS:
> These are a great excuse for you to get out of the house and enjoy the 
> winter a bit!  They provide a good opportunity to meet other birders, and 
> both expert and beginner birders are welcome.

> you want to do, and contact the organizer so they can assign you a section 
> of the survey area.  Christmas Bird Counts are a lot of fun, as well as an 
> excellent way that local birders contribute to a Scientific Study that has 
> lasted more than 100 years.  Hope to see you out at them.

> Good Birding.
