Both new and experienced Seattle birders will soon be able to become “citizen scientists” when they take part in an annual activity that will help their feathered friends.
The city will be joining others in taking part in the annual Christmas Bird Count, and it is the longest running grassroots level survey in North America. Hundreds of Seattle residents take part each year, and the organizers are hoping for another successful Count.
The participants in the Downtown Seattle installment of the initiative will be counting and recording every wild bird they see. The count circle will be approximately 15 miles in diameter, and it will be broken down into 14 sections. Each will be covered by at least one team of volunteers, and the results will be collected , compiled and used to support scientific research. Those interested can sign up for an in-field slot, or they can choose to register and submit results from their own backyard feeder.
Following the Bird Count, Birds Connect Seattle will be hosting a holiday party for its volunteers and also the participants in the Bird Count. Everyone is asked to bring an appetizer to share, and the main course will be provided. The no host bar will be open as well. A printer can prepare personalized Corporate Gifts to hand out during volunteer appreciation and other events.
The 2025 Seattle Christmas Bird Count will take place on December 14th. The “afterparty” will follow, and is set for Reuben's Brews Barrel House.
