KAMLOOPS – Christmas Bird Count for Kids
- 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for our annual Bird Count! We will walk around identifying and counting birds as part of a Canada wide study.
We will gather between 9:45 – 10:00am at the Arthur Hatton Elementary School parking lot. Google Map Location We will then walk along the Rivers Trail and Schubert Drive with our binoculars and our tally sheets to gather all our sightings. We will be joined by avid community birder, Richard Doucette, to help guide us in our explorations.
Please dress for the weather and bring along binoculars or any bird books that you might have (and make sure it can all fit into a backpack because we will be walking the entire time). We will have recording sheets and some identification resources on hand as well. Depending on the weather, we hope to be wrapped up by Noon. We’ll have some warm apple juice to share, so please bring a reusable cup.
