The Tiadaghton Audubon Society, a group of local birders based in Wellsboro, needs help with the Cowanesque Circle Christmas bird count in Tioga County and New York on Saturday, Dec. 17.
The Cowanesque Circle has a diameter of 15 miles and is centered on Cowanesque Lake with a radius of 7.5 miles. It covers the following areas: North – Pinnacle State Park in N.Y.; South – Ives Run Campground; West – Osceola; and East – East Lawrence Road and Woodford Road.
"We would appreciate it if more people living in or outside the Cowanesque bird circle area who don't want to leave their homes would get involved by counting the birds at their own bird feeders in their own backyards," said Sean Minnick, coordinator.
"If backyard birders call or email me, I can tell them how to do a count and whether they are in the Cowanesque Circle area and should send the data to us. If they live outside our circle area, they will be referred to the appropriate place to report their bird data," Minnick said.
Those interested can sign up by emailing tasmember@yahoo.com or calling Minnick at 570-948-9052.
