Nicola Naturalists

The Nicola Naturalists Society conducts a Christmas bird count every year here in the Nicola Valley. This years effort is on Sunday December 16th 2018. The 2017 results are on their site: http://www.nicolanaturalists.ca/2018/02/22/merritt-christmas-bird-count-december-2017/

 

You don’t have to be an expert birder to participate in Christmas Bird Counts. Participants spend all or part of the day in a group covering a specific section of the 22-km diameter count circle. It is a great way to get to know the local winter birds and contribute to the world’s longest-running citizen science project. For more details on the Merritt CBC keep checking this website or contact    nicolanaturalists@gmail.com
