Everyone can celebrate birds and contribute to citizen science as the Frontenac Christmas Bird Count celebrates its tenth anniversary on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Sign up to count birds at your own feeder or be a part of a survey team throughout the day, or bring your kids to the Christmas Bird Count for Kids event from 1-3 pm at the Sydenham Legion Hall, 4376 William Street.  

Kids and families will learn how to identify common winter birds, enjoy interactive activities suitable for all ages, and then head outside for a short 30-minute guided walk on gentle terrain to look for birds to count. Warm up after with hot chocolate and share stories and fun facts about birds. Dress warmly and bring binoculars if you have them.
