The Charles Town Christmas Bird Count has been rescheduled from Monday, Dec. 14 to TUESDAY, DEC. 15. Please contact Krista Hawley at AdultPrograms@PotomacAudubon.org with any questions you may have.

JOIN THE TALLY RALLY AT 6pm ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15. Please find the invite link below.

Christmas Bird Counts have been an Audubon Society tradition for over 100 years!

This event is free and open to the public.  REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

PVMN Volunteer Hours Eligible

There are many ways you can participate:

1. Individually – If you live in the Charles Town area, you may count birds at your home feeders and report the results.  Please click here to check the map to see if you are in the Charles Town Circle.  If so, please register below and then print the Charles Town tally sheet to record your observations.
2. In a Group –  You may also like taking a more active role by registering as a team of birders and heading out in the fields. Get together with your ‘quaranteam’ to drive to the various locations, or, in your own vehicle, join a caravan of birders. Each team will be assigned a section within the Charles Town Circle and will keep a Charles Town tally sheet.

MAPS: We have brand-new maps this year! 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 CHECKLIST: This checklist may be used by those birding at home as well as those birding a section in a group. This may be printed out from your home computer.  Your completed tally sheet can be mailed to PVAS at PO Box 578 Shepherdstown, WV 25443 or email it to bobdean52@gmail.com.

TALLY RALLY: Join us on Zoom at 6pm on Tuesday, December 15 to total the number of birds seen by all participants!  Please find the Zoom Invite here:
