Light is interested in hearing about Snowy Owl, Short Eared Owl and other unusual bird sightings within the count area.
Garner Light is your contact person for the bird count,” This year I need you to keep your bird feeders full by Dec. 19. Last year we saw a lot of empty bird feeders.
So if you see a car pull up in front of your house on that day, and people with binoculars are looking at your yard, don’t worry we are just interested in the birds at your feeders.”
