‘It’s no accident that the landfill has become a haven for these birds’

Submitted: 

The Christmas Bird Count is the oldest and largest citizen science event, which is when the general public supports the work of professional scientists by collecting data about the natural world. Citizen science is a great way for families to learn and connect to the environment in their own backyards.

This years’ count took place on December 26th.  After the survey, participants gathered for a celebratory meal at the Merrimac Farm Stone House. Information on the nearly 100 species of birds (including the Tufted Titmouse, the Carolina Chickadee, and the Eastern Bluebird) observed annually can be found on the Prince William Conservation Alliance website.
