First Christmas Bird Count for Kids
by Janet Southcott, 1 Dec 2012.
This is the first year our Young Naturalists have participated in a nationwide bird count.
We were thwarted by the weather, high winds, rain, not ideal conditions for bird watching. But a few brave souls came out to help.
We worked with experienced birders and walked through Millennium Park. Everyone learned how to use binoculars and the names of birds seen during the count.
