Attention bird lovers and volunteers: your expertise and enthusiasm are needed for the upcoming Joshua Tree National Park Christmas Bird Count, sponsored by the National Audubon Society. The count begins at 7:00 a.m. on Friday, January 1. Participants of all skill levels of birding are needed to help collect important data used in many scientific studies. This data constitutes the largest body of information about wintering bird populations anywhere in the world and helps researchers learn more about the environment. For the bird count, inexperienced birders will be partnered with veteran birders. Territories are mapped out ahead so that participants know where to start the morning of the count. Volunteers should be prepared for an all-day event in the field. To sign up or for more information, call 760-366-8913.
