Bolivar Bird Count background information

Map

November Survey: We really need to conduct a survey this month at Bolivar Flats, but we don't have a definite date yet. We first need to address access and safety concerns. Please email Winnie Burkett if you would like to be on a contact list, and we'll send you the count details. Please include what days (weekend and/or during the week) you would be available. This month the count will most probably be led by Winnie Burkett.

If anyone has been or will be in the area from Rettilon road to the ferry landing since Ike, please send me any sightings that you have. I will try to compile some sort of totals in an attempt to document the bird life in the area since Ike.

Thanks and safe birding.

Bolivar Bird Count General Information

If you want to contribute your birding experience and skills for the purchase and preservation of habitat on Bolivar - here's your chance. We are conducting a monthly bird survey of the Bolivar peninsula to document the number of species and individuals that feed, rest and nest on the western end of Bolivar, from Rettilon Rd to the Ferry landing, including all land areas. The survey uses Christmas Bird Count protocol and volunteers, like the CBCs but at no cost (donations for Bolivar will, of course, be accepted).

Monthly surveys are held on the third Saturday of every month. We meet at 8:00 AM at the Bolivar side ferry landing parking lot on the right as you leave the ferry. We will divide into area teams, identify and count birds to cover the peninsula from Rettilon Rd west, so there is the opportunity to get a wide spectrum of species. We will compile the list at 11:00 AM then participants can bird on their own and report any additional species with numbers via e-mail or phone. Results and participants are posted on this web site, Texbirds and eBird.
