[Tweeters] New information available on WOS website

[Jane Hadley]

Hello Tweetsters

Once again, Jim Danzenbaker, has contacted dozens of Audubon compilers 
and organizers around the state to get this year's Christmas Bird Count 
information. It has now been posted to the Washington Ornithological 
Society Website. The first CBC this year is Bridgeport on December 14. 
The last count is Jan 1st, 2024, when Everett-Marysville, Goldendale, 
and Skagit Bay groups will be out counting the birds. The day with the 
most counts scheduled is Saturday December 16.

With at least 43 CBCs scheduled, you should be able to find one that 
suits your interest and your schedule! Jim has been gathering this 
information for six years.

You can check out the 2023 CBCs here: https://wos.org/cbc/

Also new on the WOS website is a page listing five different WhatsApp 
groups organized around general birding topics or rare bird sightings. 
The page also explains how to join one of the groups. You can find this 
at: 
https://wos.org/birding-resources/whats-app-birding-groups-in-washington/

You might also find information of interest on the Birding Resources 
page: https://wos.org/birding-resources/

Anyone who joins WOS can get free access to Cornell Lab of Ornithology's 
wonderful Birds of the World website, which provides in-depth, 
comprehensive information on birds of the world. Birds of the World is 
normally available to subscribers at $49/year, so free access is a real 
bargain. Learn more at 
https://wos.org/birding-resources/birds-of-the-world/

Also at the website, are links to WOS's various online offerings, 
including the fabulous YouTube page, where you can enjoy videos of many 
presentations at WOS monthly meetings. Thanks to Elaine Chuang for WOS's 
YouTube page. It can be found at:
