These lakes are spring-fed and do not typically freeze, attracting a nice variety of waterfowl in the winter. We will begin at Trexler Memorial Park, and then will drive to a couple other local lakes.

Join the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society for our annual Christmas Bird Count for Kids (CBC4Kids), a fun introduction to birding and community science that teaches kids how to use binoculars, identify common birds, and collect scientific data.

The CBC4Kids is based on the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count, a 125-year-old citizen science event that has become a cherished holiday tradition for birders nationwide.

Following a short, fun, interactive session learning about birds, citizen science, and how to use binoculars, CBC4Kids participants will form teams and (under the guidance of LVAS members) conduct a bird count in a nearby park. After an hour of birding, everyone will reconvene to tally up the data and share their discoveries.

All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

$3.00 per child for Lehigh Valley Audubon Society members and $5 per child for non-members. Subsidy available for students who qualify for free or reduced price lunches.

Please contact education@lvaudubon.org if you have any questions.

We will start in a classroom at Muhlenberg College and then move to a nearby park for the count. Location details will be sent to registered families.
