One of our favorite birding events is the Christmas Bird Count (CBC). This program is an enjoyable and informative way to review and prepare for the CBC. Using her photography of our winter birds, our speaker, Sharon Dewart-Hansen, will focus on the birds most likely to be seen in the Helena Valley during this winter count. At this program you can join in with other winter birders, hone your birding skills, and enjoy Sharon’s exceptional photography. Information on the logistics of the upcoming CBC, to be held December 16th, will be discussed by Coburn Currier. This will also give you an opportunity to sign up to participate in this year’s count.
