Bigfork Christmas Bird Count

The 51st Bigfork Christmas Bird Count will be held on Saturday, December 14. For more information, contact Craig Hohenberger, asoleado2003@yahoo.com

The 51st Bigfork CBC I am assuming all regional (local) leaders will be doing the Bigfork CBC once again. If you were a regional (local) leader last year, and are not participating in the Bigfork CBC this year, please let me know. I will be sending out the Bigfork CBC packets with bird checklists and maps of your respective sub-regions in the first week of December. If there are multiple people in your regions, you can organize your plan of coverage, or just caravan. All volunteers are welcome, I will meet any interested birders in the parking lot at 8 am Flathead Lake Brewery on Saturday, December 14th (day of Bigfork CBC).After the count, we will meet at Dave Manuwal’s house between 5-5:30 pm for a potluck dinner and unofficial bird countdown. Please return your packets with the map and bird checklists ASAP after the count so I can tally the results. You can either return them by mail (asap), email, or Text them to me (but return the maps), or drop the bird lists in my mailbox on Riverside Rd. (95 Hash Mtn. View); it is about 1 mile south of Creston on Riverside Rd. on the corner of Obryan Lane.

Directions to David Manuwal’s house: Please let him know what you are bringing for the Potluck. David and his wife are located about 5 miles north of Bigfork and 2.5 south of Creston. Turn off of highway 35 at Lupine Ridge Rd which is near a curve in the highway. Go down Lupine Ridge until you encounter Meadowlark Ridge Rd on the right. Turn and go to the last house (yellow) on the left. That is us: 85 Meadowlark Ridge Rd. 406-257-1471. Email: manuwal2@centurylink.net
