Tips & Advice
- Contact coordinator Jeff Cox before the count so he can assign you to a team.

- Dress in warm layers because this early-winter count takes place outdoors across the count circle.
- Bring binoculars if you have them to help spot birds along your assigned route.
- Pay attention to every bird you see or hear, since the count records individuals, not only species.
