A Message From National Audubon....

The 114^th Christmas Bird Count

 

Greetings Compilers,

The Find a circle and pre-registration features for the upcoming 114^th 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 20^th 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).

Digital Delivery of the CBC Results

A message from the National Audubon Society...

Dear CBC Participants, Compilers, and Regional Editors, past and present,

 

As you may know, Audubon is moving to digital delivery of the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) results rather than printing and mailing American Birds, the CBC summary, to participants.  In its place, Audubon will be producing a quarterly citizen science eNewsletter which will contain the results of all our Citizen Science programs, including the articles and summaries that previously were distributed in the printed CBC summary editions of American Birds.

If you would like to receive this citizen science eNewsletter, you must sign up online at www.audubon.org/citizenscience by entering your email address just to the right of "Want to keep up with Citizen Science?"  If you have already signed up to receive the new Citizen Science eNewsletter, many thanks--you will receive the first issue of American Birds online next week.

Joining Audubon's online citizen science network ensures you will receive updates on the latest research results, reports from Audubon scientists, and quarterly notification about count summaries posted online.  In addition, you will learn about other citizen science programs and opportunities that may interest you. Please take a moment to sign up now and also to share this information with others who may find it of interest.

Regards,
