For 117 years, adults have counted birds every winter as part of the annual Christmas Bird Count, and now it's time for kids to join the fun! The Christmas Bird Count for Kids is a family-friendly bird-watching event that builds bird identification skills and contributes to scientific bird count data.
Sharpen your skills on wintering hawks and Short-eared Owl. Other wintering birds such as Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur are often present.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Alan Singer, the son of famous bird and wildlife artist, Arthur Singer, talk about his father!
