Join us for the largest bird-oriented citizen science project in the western hemisphere. The Christmas Bird Count is an annual event that has been tracking winter birds since Christmas Day of 1900. With over 2,600 counts across more than 20 countries in the Americas, there is bound to be a Christmas Bird Count near you.

Our circle covers the communities of Shingletown, Inwood, Manton, Paynes Creek, and the Black Butte area in Shasta and Tehama Counties in Northern California. We are situated in the California Cascades, in the foothills of the Lassen Volcanic Center.

Please contact us at ShingletownCBC@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us in the Shingletown area for this year’s count. All details, assignments, maps, and instructions can be discussed over email. We will be using eBird for data collection, but let me know if you require other arrangements. Please let me know if you would like to do any early/late owling.
