Some of the WRN Kids families were part of the Christmas Bird Count for Kids at rare Charitable Research Reserve. This event was initially scheduled for a Saturday earlier in the month, but the ferocious wind-chill that day resulted in a postponement to a PD day on Friday, January 26, 2018.
They started out at the feeders behind the Eco Centre, where there were lots of birds.

It was a perfect winter's day, with the temperature hovering near the freezing mark, and everyone enjoyed walking the trails.

They heard a Northern Cardinal and eventually got some good views of it.

Back at the Eco Centre they gathered to write down their sightings and enjoy coffee and hot chocolate.
