About the event
Volunteers are invited to join us for DAS's new Climate Watch initiative, a program of the National Audubon Society. We will be holding a training ahead of the actual event - please join us. The official count will take place on 5/21 with a rain date of 5/28, counts will take place in the morning, an event will be added with more details. The National Audubon's Climate Watch initiative focuses on migrating birds and understanding how changing climates may affect migration patterns spatially and temporally. This is a great activity for all birders, including beginner birders since we will focus on three species of birds specifically, although all birds will be counted. The count will take approximately 1-2 hours and volunteers will make up five groups with each group monitoring a premapped route in one of four parks across the Decatur Audubon territory - all within Macon County and near Decatur.
