STARTING A NEW CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT Your count can be recognized by Audubon as an "Official" CBC by following the steps at the AUDUBON CBC Web Site. If you choose to have the count data submitted to the MOU only, or cannot get your count registered in time to meet the Audubon guidelines, I encourage you to continue with your count coordinating efforts by follow the guidelines listed below. If you have any questions, or need assistance, please contact the current MOU CBC Compiler. com . NEW MINNESOTA CBCs Your new Christmas Bird Count does not have to be recognized by Audubon as an "official" count. Several Minnesota CBCs send count data directly to the MOU. To do this, please follow the steps listed below. Contact the Current MOU CBC Coordinator to discuss in general your idea for a new count. Once decided, send Roger the name of your new count, along with the exact description of the center point of your 15-mile diameter circle using landmarks such as road intersections, addresses, or section corners; providing a detailed map with the count circle drawn on it. Provide name(s) and contact information for the count, and the intended date so that this information can be made available to potential CBC participants. Once established, Roger will contact you on the process for submitting CBC results.
