Kansas Christmas Bird Counts, 2011 - 2012

Please contact the compiler for all details. If you have dates to add or information to change, or questions in general regarding these counts, please contact Chuck Otte at otte2@cox.net. Many of these are "Audubon" counts so there may be a small fee to participate. I have indicated this on all that I was made aware of in the additional information at the bottom of the page.  Please contact the compiler for details.
