• After more than 125 years, the Christmas Bird Count is more popular than ever (texarkanagazette.com) — A longtime birder in this story first fell in love with birds as a 10‑year‑old living on a lake in Howell, watching local species change as farmland gave way to subdivisions and golf courses. His experience now feeds into the Audubon Society’s massive Christmas Bird Count, a 126‑year‑old community science project tracking bird populations and environmental health across Michigan and beyond.
