Hello CBC Counters and Fellow Bird Lovers,
In such a wild year, with talk of possibly canceling the Christmas Bird Count…you all came through, once again, in such a major way.
With approx. 110 counters, we were able to tally 219 species!! This was our second all-time highest tally. Hats off to all of you. And big thanks to Justyn for pulling off a successful CBC despite the uncertainty and need to find innovative ways to get it done.
As the new Executive Director, I feel as though there is a powerful force working behind the scenes to help San Diego Audubon in our efforts to protect birds, wildlife, and their wild spaces. That force is all of you. My heart is full of gratitude for the hard work and expertise you contribute to such critical projects like the CBC and throughout the year. In a normal year, I would have been able to enjoy a hot beverage and food with you post count while celebrating your findings and sharing my gratitude in person. Unfortunately, the entirety of my time as Executive Director has been filled with everything but normalcy.
Until the day we are able to connect in person, know that San Diego Audubon is so very grateful for your contributions and needs you more than ever moving forward. Please reach out with ideas and topics of concern, to learn ways to volunteer further, and keep following us via eNews and Sketches. We are all in this together and I look forward to more shared successes.
Happy Holidays, New Year, and thank you.
Best wishes,
Travis Kemnitz
