2022

Christmas Bird Counts take place all across the country during December and January. They’re scheduled for each area in advance by the area’s organizer. For the Bismarck-Mandan area, the weather this time of year can be more chaotic than usual. Such was the case this year where the Great December Blizzard of 2022 had just finished up in time for today’s bird count. The post blizzard weather was cold with a slight breeze. Additionally, the World Cup final was also held today in the much sunnier Qatar. The combination of weather and world events made it an easy choice to hunker down for the morning.
