Formosa Plastics Corporation, Texas supported the Jackson-Calhoun County Christmas Bird Count, on December 27, 2020, by providing access to Formosa property and escorts. Pictured are birding experts (l-r) Jimmy Greenawalt and Dale Friedrichs surveying a Formosa location.
Bob Friedrichs - local Audubon Society compiler reports "193 species" were tallied during the count-down. "The species tally and effort were our highest in 5 years of conducting the Christmas Bird Count in Jackson-Calhoun Counties". The Formosa-Tejano Wetlands section of the count, and another location, tied and led the way with 7 bird species exclusive to that site." Thanks goes out to the 36 volunteer participants who spent sunrise to sunset surveying the Jackson and Calhoun County 15 mile diameter search target area.
