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.
