VANCOUVER – Christmas Bird Count for Kids – CANCELLED
- 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
We are so sorry to announce that due to some incoming bad weather with high winds forecast, we have to cancel this year’s event in Stanley Park. We will plan to run a similar event in May 2022 so stay tuned for details. Langley will be having a bird count on Jan 1 for those that are able to attend.
Christmas Bird Count for Kids 2021 – Stanley Park
Calling all young birders! Join us online alongside other families and experts for this annual winter bird survey event. After a quick introduction to bird identification where you’ll learn to tell your Kinglets from Kingfishers, we will split into groups and head into the forest and foreshore for a 45-minute bird counting adventure then regroup to share our findings. Check out the downloadable resources below to enhance your experience!
This program is free for registration and is a collaboration between Birds Canada, NatureKids BC, and the Stanley Park Ecology Society. Register HERE.
Location: We will meet at the Stanley Park Dining Pavilion (located at 610 Pipeline Road). Please try to arrive at least 15 minutes in advance of the program. The whole program will be delivered outdoors, so please dress for the weather.
This program will follow approved COVID protocols, and attendees must respect these protocols to participate in the program. To make everyone comfortable, we will encourage distancing and will be keeping group sizes low to accommodate this.
