There are multiple ways you can participate:
Maps: Here is a link to the entire Charles Town Circle. After registration, you will be sent a map highlighting your individual section. The maps can be printed out from your home computer or downloaded to your phone for use in an interactive application, Avenza Maps. Check out this YouTube video to learn how to use Avenza Maps.
Tally Sheet: This checklist may be used by those birding at home as well as those birding a section in a group. Your completed tally sheet can be emailed to bobdean52@gmail.com.
Tally Rally: Gather with fellow CBC birders at the Case Nature Center at Cool Spring at 5:30pm to share in a delicious potluck meal, report out on results, and talk about awesome sightings from the day! There will also be an option to participate virtually via Zoom.
