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 Retillon 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 Retillon 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.
