Christmas bird counts are a yearly tradition where groups of people head out in a certain area to try to find and count as many different species of birds as possible in that spot. They are a great way to learn more about birds, meet other naturalists and birders, and get out for a fun day of birding. Here are the confirmed locations, dates and contact information for compilers of Christmas Bird Counts taking place in Newfoundland and Labrador during the 2015 Christmas season – please contact the organizer directly for the info you’ll need to take part. Happy birding!
