Christmas Bird Count

The National Audubon Societies annual Christmas Bird Count is underway. Today, the bird census is taking place in the Chiricahua Mountains and tomorrow the Peloncillo Mountains will be the target of the census. There are a number of visitors in the area helping with the yearly count. Cave Creek Ranch has more details.

It will be interesting as the Rodeo, New Mexico water projects under way, what birds that will bring to town.

I agree, I would expect an increase in the number and diversity of bird species once "Lake Rodeo" or is that "Rodeo Lake" is completed. In any event you have the perfect place to spot any new comers.
