    Verde Valley AZ (December 16, 2011) – Enjoy a wildlife-viewing experience and help wildlife conservation at the same time by volunteering to help out in one or more annual Arizona Christmas Bird Counts this month.

    The count program is a bird population survey that has been coordinated annually by the National Audubon Society since 1900. For each count, volunteers (including those from the Arizona Game and Fish Department) will take to the field for one calendar day between Dec. 14, 2011, and Jan. 5, 2012, to record every bird species and every individual bird sighted within a designated 15-mile diameter area.

    The data collected will be added to an extensive database that enables monitoring of winter bird populations across North America and helps in assessing the overall health of the environment.

    Volunteer help is needed on most of these counts. In some cases a $5 participation fee defrays a portion of the cost of tabulating and publishing the overall count results. Some of the counting events hold a compilation dinner at the end of the day where results are tabulated and stories shared. Check with the local coordinator.

    Some counting events have already been held, but there are still nearly 30 scheduled in different parts of the state. See a schedule at http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/documents/ChristmasBirdCountschedule_2011_12.pdf or at http://www.azfo.org/CBC/cbc2010_2011.html.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
