Life is full of traditions, big and small. Some revolve around holidays, others are daily rituals, while some follow the seasons. Since I was a kid, camping has been a personal tradition of mine, with each trip bringing about its own stories, experiences in nature, and, of course, weather.
Maybe you haven’t heard, but as each year comes to a close, numerous bird enthusiasts throughout the continent eagerly anticipate the Christmas Bird Count (CBC) with a fervour that rivals their excitement for the holiday season. While this might appear unusual to some, the act of counting birds plays a crucial role in monitoring the (unfortunately, largely declining) bird populations. This tradition has persisted for an impressive 124 years!
