Medora, N.D. (AP) Theodore Roosevelt National Park is seeking volunteers to take part in the nationwide Audubon Christmas Bird Count.

The Medora Count is to take place in the park's South Unit on Saturday, Jan. 2. The North Unit Count will be the next day.

Superintendent Valerie Naylor says the park is holding the counts after the holidays this year to attract more birders.

The annual event is in its 110th year. People interested in participating can contact the park at 701-623-4466.
