Christmas Bird Counts 2020

​"Tis the season" for the Northern Nevada Christmas Bird Count (CBC)! After some discussions, our local bird count compilers and Lahontan Audubon staff decided to move forward with hosting this year’s CBC event. All leaders will be following the National Audubon CBC guidelines including the following:

  • CBC teams are limited to smaller groups of less than 10 people. If you want to participate, please contact a compiler first, and they will assign you accordingly.
  • All post-bird count parties, receptions and events have been canceled.   
  • Social distancing and/or masking are required at all times in the field. 
  • We recommend bringing an approved hand sanitizer as restrooms and running water may not be present during the event.
  • Carpooling may only occur within existing familiar or social "pod" groups (EG- a nuclear family).
  • The “sharing” of equipment, such as binoculars, spotting scopes or notebooks, also may only occur within the same social “pods”. We will not be providing any field gear to guests. 
  • Activities must comply with all current state and municipal COVID-19 guidelines.    Coronavirus in Nevada
