NatureKids – December 2023

For December 2023, participating NatureKids groups were invited to take part in the longest running citizen scientist project by going outside and counting the birds they see for the Christmas Bird Count for Kids. 

Grand Lakes NatureKids took the binoculars and the bird guides out for a winter solstice bird count. 

The Hampton Fresh Air collective took the opportunity with the fresh snow to learn about animal tracks and play games exploring different animal gaits. Their hunt was a success with deer, squirrel and mouse tracks found! 

Check out the suggested activities and resources below to do your own bird count.
