Children and their families are welcome to join us on Jan. 3, 2019 to count wild birds in the Hope Bay area. This annual event, now in its 6th year on the Penders, is created by Bird Studies Canada, and sponsored locally by PIFN and PICA. This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to the joys of being active in nature and learning about our local bird life. Experienced birders will be on hand to help children identify the birds they find, and binoculars designed for children’s use will be available. Please register at penderislandcbc4kids@gmail.com.
