Holiday birders count species
Eleanor Bennett/Aspen Public Radio

Every year during the holidays, tens of thousands of people across the western hemisphere head out to record all the birds they see or hear within a 15-mile radius. This year's count began December 14th and concludes tomorrow. Aspen Public Radio reporter Eleanor Bennett joined the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies and the Roaring Fork Audubon Society for their counts in Carbondale and Snowmass Village the weekend before Christmas.
