We are interested in everything, from insects and spiders to amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

– All living things are counted: flowers in bloom, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects.

– Count between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. either Saturday, Sunday or both. (please check Coming Events or the May Newsletter for any changes.)
