The girl is excited when Big Al, the leader of their team, asks her to record the tally this year Usine her most important tools―her eyes and ears―she eagerly identifies and counts the birds they observe on their assigned route around town. She and her team follow the rules, noting the time of day, the habitat, the birding ID techniques used for each sighting. Finally, they meet up with the other teams in the area to combine their totals for a Christmas Bird Count party and share stories about their observations. Sidebars tally up the birds they see. Back matter provides information about the Christmas Bird Count and each type of bird the team spotted.
