What?
The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is a long-standing program of the National Audubon Society, with over 100 years of citizen science involvement. It is an early-winter bird census, where thousands of volunteers across the US, Canada and many countries in the Western Hemisphere, go out over a 24 hour period on one calendar day to count birds.
The Tejon Ranch Conservancy has been conducting a Christmas Bird Count on Tejon Ranch since 2008. The 15-mile diameter circle fit perfectly into the body of the Ranch. The circle is divided into 5 areas. We typically are only able to cover the low elevation portions of the Ranch and using four or five teams we are able to cover portions of areas 1, 2, 3, and 4.
