Topic: "Top 10 Most Wanted Yard Birds – A Christmas Bird Count Primer"

Speaker: Frank DeMartino

Date: December 10, 2024 at 7:00pm

It's Christmas Bird Count season! Ventura's count is Saturday, December 21st. That means it's time to start checking those backyard birds! This presentation will focus on the history of the Christmas Bird Count, the importance of community science, how you can participate in our upcoming count, and what birds to look for in your yard. We will also take a look at some local trends that we’ve observed over the past 45 years. Finally, we'll go over the birds that we most want to find for the CBC. You may have one and not even realize it!

NESTING BIRDS

Please postpone any tree-trimming until the fall when the tree can be reassessed for trimming. Much tree-trimming is unnecessary, not helpful for birds, and bad for the tree, such as topping and over-thinning.  

 

Please see our Tree Trimming Guidelines for more recommendations on tree-trimming.

GO BIRDING

Ventura County provides many recreational opportunities in a beautiful natural setting. Good birding is one of the Central Coast’s finest recreational features. The Central Coast is strategically located on the Pacific Flyway and provides habitat to many resident and migratory birds.
