[EBB Sightings] Oakland Christmas Bird Count, December 20

Hello, Bay Area Birders:

The Oakland Christmas Bird Count will be held on Sunday, December 20,  
and we'd like to invite birders all around the bay area to take  
part . . . unless, of course, you're committed to your local CBC that  
day.

Past participants have already received an email invitation to take  
part again this year, and many have already signed up.  Won't you  
join them?  You'll have a chance to sample the bird life in an area  
that fits your interests and abilities, under the leadership of an  
experienced birder.  At the end of the day you can attend the count  
dinner, to learn what birds others have found, and where.  A rarity  
or two usually turns up, so learning of them on the day of discovery  
can help you see them, too.  Besides, the food is good, and the  
company is even better.

Golden Gate Audubon Society sponsors the Oakland count, and hosts  
this sign-up page:

counts/

There you can also download a form to sign up for the Oakland count  
dinner (only $10 this year!), volunteer to help at that dinner, or  
make the same selections for the December 29 San Francisco CBC, also  
sponsored by GGAS.

If you have any questions, please contact me:
