2022 Christmas Bird Count

Participate in the National Audubon Society’s 123rd Christmas Bird Count! 

We'll hoot for owls in the pre-dawn dark and count every bird we find. Participants do not have to count all day — count for whatever portion of the day you can. If you live in our count area, you can report the species you see from your home.

The count areas are divided into circles. Circles are further divided into sectors, which are counted by Tampa Audubon and other individuals. Hillsborough County has two circles - the Alafia Circle and Tampa Circle. 

Here are three ways to join:

To join the Tampa Audubon sectors in the Alafia Circle (Dec. 18) or the Tampa Circle (Dec. 31), contact Mary Keith.
To join the Alafia Circle count (outside the Tampa Audubon sectors) on Dec. 18, email Charlie Fisher. 
To join the Tampa Circle (outside the Tampa Audubon sectors) on Dec. 31, contact David Bowman.
  
Important! Pre-registration is required. Visit the TAS website or contact Mary Keith for more information.
