It’s called the Christmas Bird

the same location gives scientists
important information about
birds and the environment.

In 2007, Tom Rusert of
Sonoma Birding had the idea
to include kids in this important
“citizen science” effort.
T

He launched the first Audubon
Christmas Bird Count
(CBC) for Kids. It was
so successful that now
organizations around
the country are
starting their
own CBC
for Kids
programs,
following
Rusert’s model.

The information helps
scientists protect birds and
their habitat—and helps identify
environmental problems. For example, changes
in bird populations can tell about a threat to the
environment, such as groundwater poisoning
from improper use of pesticides.
How many
of these can
you find?
