SUMMARY:VANCOUVER
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Bird Count for Kids! \nThe Christmas Bird Count for Kids (CBC4Kids) is a fun\, family-friendly bird watching event that builds bird identification skills and contributes to important citizen science for bird conservation. \nThe adventure begins with a short indoor session that helps build skills on how to identify birds and practice using binoculars. We then head outdoors\, and each participant (and accompanying parents/grandparents/guardians) will be part of a small birding team led by an experienced birder. Each team will do a 45-minute bird survey in Stanley Park\, recording the number and species of birds seen. After the survey\, all teams will meet up again and we’ll tally up all the bird numbers and compare sightings. \nComplimentary light refreshments (snacks\, hot cocoa and tea) are available. \nThis family event is suitable for children ages 5-12 and children must be accompanied by an adult. Indoor activities are available for younger siblings and parents who would prefer to stay inside during the bird count. \nWhat to bring:\n \n\nWarm clothes\, rain gear and appropriate footwear\n\nBinoculars and bird field guide if available (otherwise provided)\n\nSnack and water\n\n\nLocation: Meet us on the second floor of the Stanley Park Pavilion. \nThe event is co-hosted by Bird Studies Canada\, NatureKids BC and Stanley Park Ecology Society. \n\nThe event is free\, but registration is required: https://goo.gl/forms/TrGJP1tTxKlqV1lN2
