• Christmas Bird Count for Kids

Led by experienced birders who enjoy sharing their hobby with kids, we begin the day with a birding & binoculars boot camp to learn the basics before going to the field. We'll have some binoculars & bird field guides available for those who can't bring their own. Then we'll split into teams with a leader & count as many species of birds in the park & surrounding areas within a 2 hours. Parents are encouraged to join, but let your kids do the work. We will return to the center for bird games , a hot lunch, and tally the species found awarding some special prizes. Each child will receive a recycled plastic bird feeder for participating.
