I need to apologize for the late notice, but I’ve decided to move the next Carpinteria Birdwatchers meeting to Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 6:30 p.m.
Look here for an update on that meeting’s topic, as well as my thoughts on the larger topic of the format and frequence of Carpinteria Birdwatchers going forward, in the next few days. In the meantime, stay safe and enjoy your local birds. See you soon!

This Thursday we’ll use our Carpinteria Birdwatchers online meeting to discuss the recent (unfortunate) cancellation of the 2020 Carpinteria Christmas Bird Count due to COVID-19 concerns, then will move on to something more fun: An eBird photo quiz! The meeting will take place this Thursday, December 17, 2020, at 4 p.m. I hope to see you there.

I have an unfortunate announcement to make: Due to concerns about COVID-19 and the recent stay at home order issued by the state, I’ve decided to cancel this year’s Carpinteria CBC. More details are in the email I just sent to participants, a copy of which can be read on our CBC page.
I’m very grateful to everyone who put so much into preparing for the count, and share their disappointment. I’m looking forward to next year, when I hope we’ll be able to come back stronger than ever.

Our next Carpinteria Birdwatchers meeting will be another quick meeting to prepare for the upcoming Carpinteria Christmas Bird Count (CBC). In this meeting we’ll go over how to use eBird to share your sightings, as well as how to fill out the CBC “effort form” and how to use the day-of spreadsheet on count day. The CBC will take place on Saturday, December 19, 2020; the meeting to prepare for it will be on Thursday, December 3 at 4 p.m.
I hope to see you there!
