> The Fairfax Audubon Society encourages birders and nature enthusiasts in 
> the Washington, DC area to join volunteer teams on Saturday, December 7th 
> for a comprehensive Waterfowl Count.
> 
> The Fairfax Audubon Society Waterfowl Count will pair novice and expert 
> birdwatchers of all ages to tally birds within a designated count area.  
> Morning and all-day teams are being formed to explore locations throughout 
> Fairfax and Prince William Counties, including the Potomac and Occoquan 
> watersheds.  This is an excellent opportunity for beginner birders, and for 
> families to work as a team.
> 
> Whether a beginner or seasoned bird watcher, volunteers can help make 
> difference in bird and wildlife habitat conservation by simply doing 
> something they love---bird watching.  Bird watching is hitting an all-time 
> high in popularity and is the fastest-growing outdoor activity in the U.S.  
> 
> 
> This good news comes at a time when Audubon studies reveal some waterfowl 
> species, such as the American Black Duck and Brant, are facing population 
> declines and habitat loss.  The results of the Fairfax Audubon Society 
> Waterfowl Count will be compiled to better inform studies on Northern 
> Virginiaâ??s waterfowl population and trends.
