SUMMARY:Family Christmas Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Join Bird Conservancy of the Rockies for a monthly educational Family & Homeschool program. Each month we’ll focus on a different subject or area of interest to share with your family. Participants should expect each activity to largely take place outside and a parent or guardian should plan to stay with their child(ren) through the duration of the program. \nDecember’s theme is ‘Family Christmas Bird Count’. Did you know that every winter since 1900\, scientists and birders alike have gathered together in an effort to count birds? We invite your family to join us for a morning of community science\, observing the birds around Barr Lake and discussing the impact we can have on understanding bird populations. \nScholarships are available. Please complete this form BEFORE you register and wait for a reply from a Bird Conservancy staff member. \nClick here to register! \nThis program takes place at the Barr Lake State Park Nature Center located at 13401 Picadilly Rd.\, Brighton\, CO.
