The Lyle Christmas Bird Count will be held Sunday, Dec. 14, and takes place in a 15-mile diameter circle that stretches from Rowland Lake to the east end of Horsethief Butte and includes the communities of Lyle, Dallesport, The Dalles, Rowena and the eastern half of Mosier.
This count is an opportunity to learn more about the birds of our area and where they can be found, as well as meet other people also interested in bird watching.
People of all skill levels are welcome.
Of particular interest are all the bird feeders we have in our community. If indivdiuals would like to record the birds that visit their feeder and the amount of time they spent observing (can be as little as 15 minutes or all day), let organizers know.
The Lyle Christmas Bird Count has been conducted annually since January, 1997. It is one of the few counts east of the Cascades in Oregon or Washington with more that 100 species, and the only count in Washington with Acorn Woodpeckers.
Approximately 50 people participated on last year's Count.
Previous count results can be found at Birding Klickitat County, http://community.gorge.net/birding
People wanting to participate should contact Bob Hansen, (509) 637-2736 or by e-mail at bobhansen@gorge.net as soon as possible.
