Bird Counts

Sea & Sage is involved in a variety of bird counts throughout the year.  Some are conducted semi-monthly, some are monthly, some are by season and others only once or twice a year. 

 


Regional Parks Bird List

This is an on-going project for the purpose of setting up new bird lists for each of Orange County's Regional Parks. If you are interested in assisting us with this project, please contact Nancy Kenyon by email at  or by phone at 949-786-3160.  The following parks have one person already monitoring them; more people are definitely needed in order to properly cover all the areas.  (There are many other parks within the county which also need someone to monitor their birds.)
Aliso & Wood Canyons Regional Park
Clark Regional Park
Craig Regional Park
Crystal Cove State Park
Jim Dilley Preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park
O'Neill Regional Park 
Peters Canyon Regional Park
Shipley Nature Center,  Huntington Central Park
Whiting Ranch Regional Park
Yorba Regional Park


Christmas Bird Counts

Sea & Sage conducts 3 Christmas Bird Counts; two counts are on Sundays and one is on Saturday. The 1st count covers the coastal & inland areas of the southern end of Orange County; the 2nd count covers the inland section of northern and central Orange County; and the 3rd count covers the coastal areas of northern and central Orange County. Full information on these counts can be found on the CBC page. (please click here for the link.) Birders of all levels are always needed to help us conduct these counts. We hope you will join us!
