Christmas Bird Count

The Tri-Cities Christmas Bird Count (CBC) regularly has the highest number of species seen inland in Washington thanks to strong community and LCBAS member support.
All CBCs are standardized to a 7.5 mile radius circle (about 177 square miles). The LCBAS count circle is formally called the Washington Tri-cities circle (see below) and centers on the Columbia River shoreline closest to Road 68 in Pasco. This is a very large area that includes Selph Landing Road in Pasco, most of Two Rivers Park east of Kennewick and Badger Mountain in Richland.
To facilitate the organization of small count teams, the circle is managed by three team leaders representing Richland, Pasco and Kennewick. To participate in the CBC, contact the compiler to get more information about the count and general guidelines.
