add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Can you tell the difference between a Chestnut-backed Chickadee and a Red-Breasted Nuthatch, or a Bufflehead and a Goldeneye?The Christmas Bird Count is an important wildlife survey of birds that everyday citizens can take part in.
Nanaimo NatureKids is participating in this year's 'Count for Kids' at Buttertubs Marsh, one of the best places in Nanaimo to spot a wide variety of birds. With biologist Tanya Seebacher and her crew of experienced birders we will be shown the ropes of bird identification: learn about plumage, calls, and maybe even start your own 'lifer' list (this is a list that some enthusiast birders have of the first time they have ever seen and positively identified a bird species)! This is a great opportunity to contribute to local stewardship efforts regarding bird populations, and hopefully we will spot a few rare birds!
