The Christmas Bird Count started in 1900 with 27 people in 25 locations and has grown into a national effort involving thousands of birdwatchers. The annual count takes place over several weeks at the end of each year. Bird-watching clubs and other advocacy organizations each take on a specific 15-mile area for a 24-hour period and keep track of the number of birds and the species of birds they observe. The count helps researchers monitor bird populations. The News-Press reports (http://newspr.es/1AyOLPm ) that eight birdwatchers exploring the Harns Marsh preserve near Fort Myers on Sunday added 108 bird species and over 11,000 individual birds to the Audubon count.
