SUMMARY:MERRITT
DESCRIPTION:Come out on Jan. 4 th \, to celebrate the third annual CBC4Kids\, an exciting afternoon ofcounting birds and being a real Citizen Scientist.Through the forest\, down to the bay and up into the meadows of Xwaaqw’um (BurgoyneBay) will be our route\, walking through these different habitats we’ll scout out the birds.Down by the bay we are sure to see several species of ducks\, grebes\, kingfishers andpossibly loons. It’s a known hangout for seals\, even the odd sea lion! Hiking up into theopen meadows we’ll encounter songbirds like chickadees\, nuthatches\, Golden-crownedSparrows and Kinglets\, Stellar’s Jays\, Red-breasted Sapsuckers\, flickers and you nameit. Raptors too! A Red-tailed Hawk is often seen there in a lone\, fir tree.We’ll share tips on using your binoculars effectively. Perhaps you might like to learn touse the Merlin app! An Ebird checklist for this count is a must and we will submit it toBirds Canada where they can use our numbers in scientific research. So\, not only willyou be learning your local birds and having fun\, you’ll also be supporting birdconservation!The Christmas Bird Count is an annual worldwide census of bird species\, which hasbeen going on for 126 years\, in Canada. The data pool we will contribute to is criticalwith understanding the changes that climate change is bringing to avian species.When: January 4\, from 1 – 3 in the afternoonWhere: Meet in Xwaaqwu’um\, (Burgoyne Bay) at the Cultural circle just above the topparking lotBring: Binoculars (We do have a few binoculars to lend out.)Wear warm clothing and good footwear\, even rain gear should it be necessary. Rainor shine the birds will be there!Please register with Kathleen: khmaser@shaw.caRegistration is required\, as it really helps us with our planning.Make sure you are a member of NatureKids\, free this year for the 5 – 12 year range.
