TitleCanadian Christmas Bird Count Locations
AbstractA winter survey of bird populations conducted during the Christmas period - December 14 to January 5th inclusive. More than 1800 counts are conducted each year across Canada, the United States and Latin America. On a selected day within the count period, local birders count as many birds as possible within a 24 km (15 mile) diameter circle. The Christmas Bird Count had long been organized on the continental scale by the New York-based National Audubon Society. In 2000, Audubon finalized an agreement with Bird Studies Canada that would see BSC partner with Audubon to coordinate CBCs in Canada. This layer represents the centre point of all the Christmas Bird Counts conducted in Canada. An accompanying layer (CBC_PY) contains the 24 km circles.
