A Message From National Audubon....


The 114th Christmas Bird Count
 
Greetings Compilers,
The Find a circle and pre-registration features for the upcoming 114th CBC have been opened up; if you have not already done so, please take a minute to log into the CBC system and enter your upcoming count date or dates.
Please note that on Wednesday, November 20th the Audubon Newsletter will be emailed out, and this may result in a big jump in the number of people searching for information about CBCs in the upcoming season.  If your date is posted by then you may have quite a positive response!
--The initial version of the data entry application is now open for you to enter your upcoming dates, to check the information displayed to the public about your count, to access blank field forms, and to have a look at your compiler and participant lists.
--Your existing login information-your "username" and "password" from last year-will continue to work for you when you log in.  You now also have the ability to manage your own contact information in the "My Profile" section under your login name; this is where you should update your email address if it has changed.  Please note: if you change your e-mail address, this will then become you NEW Login NAME (your full e-mail address).
