Audubon Christmas Bird Count On SFC Trails

For the first time ever, the Audubon Society is including South Fork Trails in their famous Christmas Bird Count. On Saturday, January 3, 2015, birders and walkers alike will brave the cold weather to number birds and species in the name of science. Truly a sight to see, the event brings hundreds of binocular-toting bird lovers outdoors.

For decades, bird counters ignored much of Intown Atlanta, under the theory there could be few interesting birds or numbers to count because of concrete and lack of green space.  Two years ago, Atlanta Audubon  president Joy Carter and others brought the CBC  back within the perimeter. Her skill at encouraging volunteers with even modest bird knowledge to join the fun re-invigorated the Society's annual count
