The North American Migration Count is like the Christmas Bird Count, but with a few twists. The Area for any one count is not a 15-mile diameter circle, but an entire County. The big twist is the timing: unlike Christmas Bird Counts, which are spread over several weeks, this count is done on just a single day.
The choice of the second Saturday in May has been made to try to find the peaks of movement of neo-tropical species while they are still where most of the birders are. For details on how to join the count, call 989-362-2522.
