Register for the Vancouver Christmas Bird Count 4 Kids here
The Christmas Bird Count for Kids is a winter bird count for young
birders.
The adventure begins with an indoor session including
demonstrations and activities to practice using binoculars, learn about
birds and how to identify them. Each participant (and accompanying
parent) will be part of a small birding team, led by an experienced
birder, and will conduct a 1-1.5 hour survey in Stanley Park recording
the number of bird species and individuals seen. After the survey, all
teams will re-group for lunch (bring your own) and we’ll tally up the
bird numbers and compare sightings!
