Welcome all to the 2009 Lake Ray Hubbard Christmas Bird Count! Please click on thumbnail forms to print out and bring with you on the count if you are a Team Leader.
Lake Ray Hubbard Christmas Bird Count, Sunday December 20th, 2009
Some of the highlights from past CBC's have been Red-Breasted Merganser, Lesser
Black-backed Gull, and Sora Rail. Let's make the 110th Count another success
as we count around Lake Ray Hubbard, city parks, wetlands, riparian areas, and
flyovers. Those who wish to receive handouts, count forms, rare bird forms and
maps should plan on meeting on the north side of Miller Road just across from
the old Woodland Basin parking lot at
6:30 AM. We can see if we'll be short or need to group more participants. Maps
of the morning meeting place and count areas as well as online printable CBC
Forms are posted on the Count's forms
& maps web page (click on each area thumbnail). Please plan on
meeting at the end of the Count at 5:30 PM
at Siciliano's Taste of Italy at 2210 W. Buckingham Road in Garland for
our official tally and dinner (optional). We're looking forward to the Count
since it had been a big success in the last couple of years. For further details

After the Count we plan to meet at Siciliano's A Taste of Italy
Siciliano's is located southeast of the intersection of Shiloh Road and Buckingham Road, across from North Garland High School
for dinner (optional) and the traditional tally at 5:30 pm. Below is a map to Siciliano's located in south Garland across from close to
LBJ Freeway and just south of Northwest Highway and Saturn Road. If you can't make it to Furr's then please email
or snail-mail your tally sheets. (Furr's was too crowded and not as close to Lake Ray Hubbard) Thanks!
Thanks Google!
