This is a notice that the Christmas Bird Count is taking place this Thursday. A local group of bird enthusiasts will be meeting at 7:30am at the Pony, then organizing themselves into various groups for counting throughout the day at various locations.
The area covered is from Lillooet Lake to Erikson Road and from Spetch Creek to Shadow Lake at Hwy 99.
