  • Chambersburg Area Christmas Bird Count is on Saturday, December 14, 2024.
  • If you live inside our circle, you may want to count at your feeders this year. See the map below for a view of our circle. If you can’t tell whether you are inside the circle or not, please contact the compiler, Valerie Barnes, or look at the more detailed map. To count at your feeders, please sign up well in advance with Marguerite Fries.
  • We will not hold a tally dinner. The compiler will connect with the zone captains to record the results. Results will be posted on our Observation Records page.
  • Contact: Valerie Barnes  to sign up to count (if you didn’t count last year). Your zone captain should contact you if you counted last year. If you are new to the count, Val will assign you to a zone and the zone captain will contact you.
