Another Lisle Christmas Bird Count is in the books! Every year on a wintery Sunday in December, birders sally forth to count birds and contribute their sightings to the oldest continuously running citizen science project in the world. Now it’s time to tally everyone’s observations and see how we did….

Traditionally, all CBC participants are invited to gather at the end of our count day for drinks, dinner, camaraderie, and swapping tales of the day's birding. Dinner is followed by "the countdown" where we total up observations to see how we did progressing from the most common species to the rarer and rarer observations revealed at the end. Will new trends emerge? Will records be broken?

Due to continued COVID-19 concerns, this year’s countdown dinner will be once again held online via zoom on Tuesday, December 21st at 7pm. All are welcome to attend and celebrate with our intrepid CBC counters!
