Join the Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance for the annual Christmas Bird Count, a citizen science project that involves meeting other enthusiastic birders and helping collect important data about birds.

Penny and Gary Shackelford, resident managers of Fair Meadows, have been tallying birds at the sanctuary since the early 2000’s, concurrently with the Fort Atkinson CBC. Now for the second year, they are offering a separate and fun Fair Meadows Christmas Bird Count!

They are looking for 12 experienced birders to join us and walk through Fair Meadow Sanctuary in groups of four to count birds. Participants are invited to a mid-day break in the house for chili and socializing.

There will be at least three miles of hiking, possibly through snow.

Pre-registration required. Register here.
