Christmas Bird Count for Kids Sunday, December 14th American Canyon Wetlands at 9:00 a.m.

Children, bring your parents and a brown bag lunch, water bottle, and come join us to look for birds at American Canyon Wetlands on Sunday, December 14th. We will meet at 9:00 a.m. near the parking area, review birding strategies, have a quick binocular training, break into small groups, and bird throughout the wetlands. We will reconvene to share bird observations, and hear each teams’ highlights. This half-day CBC4Kids is designed as a fun activity for kids aged 7-16 and modeled after the traditional CBCs geared largely towards adults and birding clubs. We will introduce students to citizen science collection techniques and teach them how to use eBird, Cornell Universities’ International Database for bird observations. Parents and their children will join birding team leaders in a fun day of celebrating nature in this wonderful wildlife preserve. Remember to dress in layers and be prepared for the predicted weather.
