The 118th Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is fast approaching. The Sturgeon Bay count will be held Saturday, Dec. 15, and the Brussels area count will be held Sunday, Dec. 16. People interested can either count birds in their backyard or ride along and help with field work. The information is then sent to the National Audubon Society to determine trends in migration and habitat patterns.

If interested, contact Wendy Lukes at 920.495.7616 or Charlotte Lukes at 920.493.0187 by Dec. 1. There is no need to contact them if you’re already on their CBC list. Birders in Northern Door can contact the Ridges Sanctuary at 920.839.2802 for more information.
