Santa Barbara CBC – The List

The month before the count, you can help us by scouting your neighborhood or anywhere else within the count circle for any of the interesting or unusual birds on the list below. If you have an assignment for the count, it’s very helpful to scout your location prior to the count. 

Even if you are not participating in the count you can help by birding in the count circle and reporting your findings. Please report sightings of these species within or near the SB CBC Count Circle via eBird, to SBCO Birding, or to Libby Patten at: email hidden; JavaScript is required.

Thanks in advance and happy scouting!
