Farmington nature center to host Audubon Christmas Bird Count

Riverside Nature Center will host the Audubon Christmas Bird Count from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the nature center on N. Browning Parkway.

Riverside Nature Center will be part of this nationwide project where volunteers aid in scientific research that has been carried out for more than 100 years. Volunteers can spend part or all of the day with other birders counting birds.

The statistics are used nationwide to follow changes and trends in bird populations.

The area of Berg and Animas parks has been included in this study for more than 30 years. Groups will be walking the parks, and others will be observing feeders. Beginner and experienced birders are all able to help.

To sign up, call the nature center at (505) 599-1422.
