Join us at the wetland for this free-flowing celebration of birds!

The event begins with a presentation by an ornithologist, who will explain what the Great Backyard Bird Count is, how this worldwide community science project began, and how everyday birdwatchers help researchers track bird populations. Afterward, the ornithologist will lead a guided bird tour out on the wetland, where you can put what you’ve learned into practice, spot a variety of winter species, and learn tips for identifying birds by sight and sound. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious, this is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and contribute to science.
