SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count for Kids and Families
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Bird Count for Kids and Families\nSponsored by Hampshire Bird Club \nSunday\, December 18\nAll ages\, especially kids ages 3-12 with their families\n1 – 3pm\nFree\, registration appreciated \nDo you want to learn more about birds? Would you like to contribute to science? Join birdwatchers all over America in the Christmas Bird Count (CBC)! \nThe CBC is a 122-year old event in which bird lovers of all ages and skill levels count all the birds they see in a 24-hour period in December. At this program\, there will be something for everyone. We’ll meet at the Hitchcock Center for an indoor program about how to recognize common birds and a story about the history of the Christmas Bird Count. Afterwards\, families who are interested may participate in an outdoor bird count\, with ID help by Hampshire Bird Club members at the Hitchcock Center bird feeders and beyond. We’ll count every bird we see! Younger participants may decorate “eye focusers” and hit the trails for a self-guided bird scavenger hunt (with paper birds!). Stay as long as you wish. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to a real bird census! \nThis event is rain\, slow\, sleet or shine. Families may stay and count birds for as much time as they wish but we recommend that you arrive on time for the indoor portion in order to get introduced to the common winter species we are likely to see. Binoculars are welcome but not required.
