PEEC News:
Local wildlife photographer, birder and occasional electrical engineer Mouser Williams will give a presentation at the Los Alamos Nature Center at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1 about the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count program.
The talk will cover the historical origins of the bird count, how it has grown in the last 116 years, and how scientists take advantage of such a rich database of bird population data. The Christmas Bird Count is coming to Los Alamos for the first time since 1953, and Dr. Williams will explain how our local count is organized and how you can participate. Even if you don’t know the difference between a robin and a raven, you can still make a valuable contribution to the count process.
This talk will take place at the Los Alamos Nature Center at 2600 Canyon Road. It is free to attend, and no registration is required.
