Now that November is here, it's time to plan ahead for Christmas Bird
Counts (CBCs).

It would be very good for knowledgable folks to post dates and contacts
for Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia CBCs on Tweeters, so we can
plan our attendance.

To start off, the Sequim-Dungeness CBC will be held Monday, 22 Dec. The
compiler is me, Bob Boekelheide, at (360) 681-4867 or bboek at olympus.net.
We set the Monday date to allow access to Graysmarsh, a large private
preserve within our count circle, and to limit competition for counters
with other CBCs. We have about 20 official "routes" that we fill with
both local counters and "hired guns" from elsewhere.

I know that Scott Downes is also planning a Port Gamble CBC on Saturday,
20 Dec.

What are the dates and locations of other CBCs?
