Normally, Arun Bose, the VSO superlative webmaster, posts the list of
dates for the Christmas Bird Counts occurring in Virginia on the VSO
website. I suspect he is just about to put up that list for the
upcoming Christmas counts. Look for it there and send him the confirmed
date of your count if you're looking for help from participants.

Hi,
I was just planning out December travel and found that I did not seem
to have a good list of VA Christmas Bird Count dates. I did a few
searches on VA-Bird and checked the info that the MD OS has out, which
gave me a partial list. Quite possibly people were super organized and
announced all these dates last year ... is there a compendium for the
2015-16 season on-line somewhere?
Here is what I found. Sincere apologies if one of these is wrong (that
obviously is worse than not helpful):
Washington DC 12/19/2015 Sat
Wachapreague 12/19/2015 Sat
Manassas - Bull Run 12/20/2015 Sun
Seneca 12/20/2015 Sun
Nassawadox 12/20/2015 Sun
Central Loudoun 12/29/2015 Tue
Cape Charles 12/30/2015 Wed
Ft Belvoir 1/2/2016 Sat
Calmes Neck 1/2/2016 Sat
Kerr Lake 1/5/2016 Fri (this wrong since 1/5 is not a Fri, but was
what I found posted on VA-Bird. Since the count period ends 1/5, I
assume that date is correct and it is a Tue)
Personally, I am curious if there are any other CBCs on 12/30 - 1/1 or 1/3.
Happy fall and winter birdin',
