Ruzan Khambatta: Christmas Bird Count Week (14-Dec to 5-Jan) For the first century of the Christmas Bird Count, the official count period was a floating period of time, either 17 or 18 days long, that wobbled about on the calendar from mid-December through early January. There was a great amount of confusion each season as to when the count period began and ended. And one of the cardinal rules of the CBC is that we cannot accept CBCs that are conducted outside the count period, as they are not statistically comparable with all the rest of the counts. #youthicon #motivationalspeaker #inspirationalspeaker #mentor #personalitydevelopment #womenempowerment #womenentrepreneur #entrepreneur #ruzankhambatta #womenleaders #womenselfdefense #ChristmasBirdCountWeek
