2025 Winter Bird Count 4 Kids!

January 24th

Calling all bird-loving humans aged 8 -17! 
We need you to help us count winter birds for Birds Canada!  

WHEN: Friday, January 24th (PD Day), 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 
WHERE: Wishart Conservation Area
WHO: Humans ages 8-17 along with their adults! 
COST: No pre-registration required for this FREE event! 

WHAT TO BRING: 

  • Bird Guides and Binoculars if you have them (or borrow ours!)
  • Your own mug/reusable cup for hot chocolate
  • Your EAGLE EYES and OWL EARS for finding birds! Let's try to beat our 2024 totals! 

DETAILS: 

  • Join a small group led by an expert birder and hit the trail to count birds! The trail is nearly 2 km long, and we will go slowly and quietly, noting all the birds we see.
  • Meet back in the parking lot for a warm mug of hot chocolate and to tally up sightings.
  • All observations will be submitted to Birds Canada, to help them understand Canada’s winter bird populations!

NOTE: There are no washrooms or shelters on-site.
