About this event

Join us for the annual Highlands Christmas Bird Count.

Jason Love, HBS Associate Director, and Dr. Jim Costa, HBS Executive Director, lead the quadrant that covers the Station, Sunset Rock, Sassafras Gap and parts of Blue Valley. We spend the morning counting every bird we see and hear, then wrap up around noon at the library, where everyone warms up over chili and cornbread while the groups tally the day’s numbers.

HBS and HBF volunteers are welcome, and so are friends, so please spread the word.
