The 2017 Salida Christmas Bird Count is Saturday, December 16, 2017. The Christmas Bird Count started in 1900 as an alternative to the holiday tradition of shooting birds. This is now the longest running citizen science project in the world. The Salida Count started in 2003 and covers a 15-mile diameter circle. The Salida Count is sponsored by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the GARNA Birding Club both assisting to provide lunch for the volunteers. To participate, please email the compiler, Andrew Mackie at andrewjmackie@gmail.com.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
Your registration is secured upon receipt of payment, as long as there space is still available in a program.
