Due to pandemic restrictions on safely gathering, this year’s local Flathead Audubon CBCs will not be taking volunteers. The coordinators will be relying on individuals who have conducted the counts in the past to conduct them this year. They will reach out to those individuals for assistance. There will also not be a gathering at the end to tally results. We wanted to make sure the counts were still conducted correctly but also safely. Hopefully, next year we can all participate again!”
Because of Covid 19, Audubon Christmas Bird Counts of Northwest Montana will be structured differently this year. Many counts will be enlisting fewer participants. Please check with the organizers for information. The list of CBCs for NW Montana is below.
