    Citizen Scientists, Birders, Nature Lovers, Outdoor Enthusiasts Wanted!

    Registration is now open for the annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC)! From December 14th to January 5th, you can be part of Canada's longest running community science project to help scientists understand long-term health and status of bird populations. Novices and serious birders alike are invited to join a team of volunteers in their local area who will spend one day recording all the birds they observe in a 24 km diameter survey circle in their local area.
