The annual Ida County Conservation Christmas Bird Count took place last Sunday, Dec. 21.
The event, created by the Audubon Society, has been taking place since 1900.
“This is the 126th year,” said Ida County Naturalist Danielle Bennett. “It takes place all over the country and beyond.”
Between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5, groups interested in participating pick a day and a central location; the count takes place within a 15-mile radius circle during a 24-hour period.
