If you are interested in helping please contact him at 435-245-4177 or 435-245-5261, I'm sure he would be happy to have some help from Idaho birders. Bear Lake is in the far southeastern corner of Idaho and the closest town of any size is Montpelier. It would be interesting to find out what is in this corner of Idaho in the winter.

With the count circle at 6000 feet and some of us topping 7500, this one of the highest in the region.   By the way the circle is Blaine and Butte Counties so both Snake River and Prairie Falcon Chapters can include it.

Meeting Place: Wild Bill's Coffee Shop(used to be Coffee & Cream) downtown Crouch at 7.30am.

We have the date set for the Garden Valley CBC and it is Thursday, December 15. This is a count with limited road access for vehicles so the majority of the groups will be spending some time hiking/snowshoeing/cross country skiing and maybe even one group rafting a mild stretch of the South Fork Payette. Our goal is and has been to get the highest total of American Dippers for the United States and maybe even all of North America. Contact me at spencerw100@yahoo.com if you are interested in joining us for this snowy mountain count.

Plan to join fellow birders for a day of fun and some of the best winter birding in Idaho! The Hagerman Valley Idaho Count will begin at 8:00 AM (unless your group is owling) at the Highway #30 Rest Area just west of the WMA. We will undoubtedly see 80 to 90 species, a rarity or two, and thousands of individual birds (mostly waterfowl). Our count circle includes a 15 mile stretch of the Snake River, portions of Billingsley Cr., Riley Cr., Sand Springs, Ritter Island, Hagerman Fossil Beds, and the Hagerman Wildlife Management Area. The weather will be cold, windy, and possibly snowy. Warm food and drinks will await you at the compilation, to be held in Hagerman. Contact Sarah Harris for your count area assignment by phone (208)734-2645 or email (sjharris@cableone.net).

The Idaho Falls Christmas Bird Count (CBC) will be held on Saturday, December 19. The count area is a 15 mile diameter circle centered near the Idaho Falls airport.

We need birders in the field and people to keep track of the birds that come to their feeders. Birds seen during count week, the three days before and after count day, are also reported. If you would like to participate but can’t come to the planning meeting, please contact Mark Delwiche at 525-9414 or delwiche@srv.net. There will be a $5 per person participation fee to partially offset National Audubon’s costs.

I hope you can participate—either in the field or at home watching your feeders!

Meet: 7:15 AM for all day trip
Meeting Location: Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge Headquarters, Nampa, ID
Cost: $5.00
Denise Hughes and Cheryl Huizinga will head up the Nampa Christmas Bird Count this year. Volunteers will count and record every individual bird and bird species seen in a specified circle 15 miles in diameter. The CBC reveals valuable scientific data, which have become a crucial part of the U. S. Government's natural history monitoring database.

All experience levels are welcome. Experienced birders are teamed with novices, and it’s a good way for newcomers to learn and practice their skills.

We will split into area groups and start the count at 8:00 am. We will meet back at the Deer Flat NWR Visitor Center at 5:30 pm for Chili and Soup and tally up the count sheets.
