Hello Birders,
Some 60-odd years ago in Florida, we had enough sites and so few birders
that we quickly realized that all the counts could not be done on weekends.
Some of our avid birders arranged to take the necessary week days as
vacation days from work if they were not students, teachers or retirees, etc.,
who were on Christmas break anyway. Of course, Allen and Helen Cruickshank
ALWAYS had theirs on a Saturday, because many of the old time great birders
of the day flew in to help us with the Cocoa Count! It WAS the "biggie,"
and I am honored to have taken part in Allen & Helen's very first one and
almost all of them until I left Florida for good in 1979.

It became apparent many years ago that an effort to schedule Christmas
Bird Counts (CBC) so as to avoid conflicting dates would be a good thing
in the Upper Cumberland Region (UCR); glad the rest of the state is
catching up.
Dates (and compilers) for UCR CBCs:
Russell/Adair counties, KY-14 December (Roseanna Denton)
Clay County, TN-16 December (Terry Campbell)
Wayne County, KY-17 December (Roseanna Denton)
Cookeville, TN-19 December (Steve Stedman)
White County, TN-21 December (Doug Downs)
Crossville, TN-23 December (Ed LeGrand)
DeKalb County, TN-26 December (Carol Williams)
Fentress/Morgan counties, TN-29 December (SJS and EKL)
Somerset, KY-1 January (Roseanna Denton)
Warren County, TN-4 January (Gregg Garrison)
Given that there are 30 CBCs in TN and only 23 dates on which they can
be scheduled, some scheduling conflict is inevitable, but less conflict
than currently is the case is probably possible.
