Christmas Bird Count 2018
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Join us for this family-friendly bird watching event for kids 5 to 12 years old (parent participation required). Young birders will learn how to use binoculars to help spot and identify birds and will be taught the most common local species found in the Nanaimo area.
After the count, teams will gather at the Miner’s Cottage off Jingle Pot Road to warm up, share results and enjoy a treat. Kids will go home with their own hand built pinecone feeder to attract birds to their own backyard!
This even is FREE but you MUST pre-register with Parks & Recreation 250-756-5200. You can register online using barcode 10935.
WHAT TO BRING:
• binoculars and bird field guide if you have them
• Warm clothes, rain gear and appropriate footwear for the weather
• A travel mug and bagged lunch
This program is co-hosted by the City of Nanaimo, Bird Studies Canada and Nanaimo NatureKids!
