For Your Information - Dec 17th - Houston Audubon Society

Guests were Sarah Flournoy, Bird-friendly Communities Program Manager, and Richard Gibbons, Conservation Director with the Houston Audubon Society. We talked about the annual 118th Christmas Bird Count. We discussed how the tally allows researchers to observe trends in the ranges and abundance of birds over time. Data from the count is used in research on climate change and conservation. We talked about education and outreach, and what effect Harvey has had on birds in the Houston area.
