I get so used to the CBC dates posted on the Houston Audubon site, I don't bother posting dates. I guess I should. Thursday, 19 December.

I am still recruiting birders for a Great CBC Guadalupe River Delta - McFaddin Family Ranches contains the last 15 miles of the Guadalupe River before it enters San Antonio Bay. This CBC hopes to be Number One and has placed in the top 5 nationally most years. We have lots of riparian woodlands, wetlands and grasslands to bird on mostly private property. The Womack Ranches are two of the larger private tracts we access; 11,500 acres total. I still need several birders to help us survey the large amount of woodlands/grasslands/brushlands/wetlands found on the ranches. I need a birder which is good at calling in songbirds to go with a team on a bay boat. They will be working the willow shorelines of the bays in the area. I need a birder(s) to go for a ride on the river. The ranch will provide a boat and operator. They will need to stop periodically to call birds to them and also occasionally get out of the boat and bird adjoining woodlands. We also have one section which is a combination of thornscrub ranchland and tidal marsh. The birders will need to spend most of the day working birds in brushlands, but will also need to spend the windier times of the day working marshes and bay edges. Most of the marsh work will be from a dirt road that is not drivable.
