Christmas Bird Count 2023
See the Field Trips page for details as to how you may participate by joining us You must contact Francis Moore if you wish to help. See maps for the Bremer County count circle and the Waterloo-Cedar Falls count circle.
I am also attaching a picture from the Stellarium planetarium program that shows what the sky of April 17, 6 B.C. would have looked like just after dawn. Of course, at that time, the planets would not have been visible. This projection was used to show the location of Mercury and Mars. Enjoy. Merry Christmas. David Voigts
