Hayward-Fremont Christmas Bird Count! Join us Sunday, December 14 for the 115th National Audubon Christmas Bird Count. Please come out again this year and participate in this worthwhile citizen science. Last year Ohlone CBC counters found 167 species, including a sighting, for the second count, of a rare Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. You can access the 2013 CBC results at: netapp.audubon.org/CBCObservation/CurrentYear/resultsByCount.aspx Just click on the country and state and add our code: cahf. You can view all the species and their numbers we observed in our effort, and your name if you participated last year’s count. To those of you who did participate, many thanks. We need your help to be successful once more. Our leaders and participants really came through last year and we hope for a repeat performance. Everyone’s help is invaluable and is greatly appreciated. Remember that there is no longer a participant fee and the postcount dinner is free. It must be stressed that our success in securing the important, basic “scientific” accuracy of the count hinges on coverage and consistency (participants - you!). Good manners and diligent searching efforts continue to be our goals, especially in the working of teams as well as finding new count areas. The count benefits from the participation of each person who carries out the necessary jobs from recording data, returning borrowed keys, helping with the dinner or just being out there! All are welcome and very much needed. There will be a precount meeting at the home of Pat and Phil Gordon. All are welcome, especially new participants and leaders. It’s a good time to meet the leaders, pick your area, and share the latest bird information. Meet Saturday, December 6, 7:30 p. m. at 1922 Hillsdale Street, which is northeast off the upper end of E Street in Hayward. It is very helpful, but not mandatory, to attend this meeting to participate in the count. If you have questions, contact the compilers at PAGPEG@aol. com or call 510.538.3550. —PAGPEG Dinner on the evening of the Hayward-Fremont CBC will be held at Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church, 22577 Bayview Avenue, Hayward, CA 94541.
