26 January 2015 – Enthusiastic young birders in Christmas Bird Count for Kids (“CBC4Kids”) events across the country identified and counted a grand total of 111 species in the 2014-15 count. Thirty-three CBC4Kids events were held throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, with seven new counts joining the fun!
Congratulations and many thanks to all the organizations, event coordinators, hosts, and volunteers who ran CBC4Kids events, and to all the families and young birders who eagerly participated! To explore locations that held CBC4Kids events, and view eBird checklists from some counts, visit the CBC4Kids map. You can also connect with count organizers through the CBC4Kids Facebook group.
