2021 Christmas Bird Count for Kids

Educators from Reinstein Woods and State Parks led our 4th Christmas Bird Count for kids just hours before the Buffalo Bills first playoff win in 25 years. Following our social distance guidelines we had 23 new birders in 5 different groups search roughly 7 miles of trails for as many birds as they could find. These groups found 17 different bird species and a total of 174 birds. The black – capped chickadee was a favorite bird that excited the young birders.
