January is great time of year for bird watching here at the Schuylkill Center. On January 11 we’re inviting birders to help us collect data for our annual Winter Bird Census! Help monitor the abundance of bird species that winter in our forests and fields. All of the information we collect will be shared with other citizen scientists, helping us to better understand how our local bird populations change over time.

Drinks and food will be provided for participants. Birders of any level experience are welcome to join, no experience necessary! This program is for adults only. Sign up for event updates and reminders.
