(MD) (Nature Forward) Nature Forward will conduct its 82^nd Annual Christmas Bird Count!  The 15-mile diameter count circle encompasses most of the District and parts of Virginia and Maryland. So, no matter where you live in or around the District, there is a spot for you to count.  Novices and intermediate level birders will be placed with experts, so don’t feel reluctant to volunteer because of your skill level. This is a learning experience too!

If you want to learn more about the DC Christmas Bird Count or sign up as a participant, contact the Compiler, Larry Cartwright at prowarbler@verizon.net or 571-359-2395.  You may also contact Nature Forward through Pam Oves at Pam.Oves@natureforward.org.
