Tampa Christmas Bird Count. Contact Dave Bowman at dsbowman4@verizon.net if you’d be available to help in this area. For more information on the annual CBC, visit https://www.audubon.org/conservation/science/christmas-bird-count. Out of town? As an alternative, consider getting involved in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) organized by Audubon with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It takes place President’s Day weekend each February, and you can count the birds each day in your backyard/community and then enter the results online.
