Together we'll make handmade pine cone bird feeders and edible garlands for the birds. We'll hang ours around the Nature Centre. Where will you hang yours?

Meet us virtually at the Mountsberg Raptor Centre where staff will introduce us to the owls. The owls at the centre are ambassadors for their species and we hope that by meeting them you will gain a greater respect and understanding for owls in the wild. Once the presentation is finished we'll invite you to dissect your owl pellet or watch us as we dissect ours. Then we'll hit the trails in High Park to show you what owl tracks look like and how to identify some of their favourite habitat. You'll leave this event with all the tools you need to go owl prowling on your own! Once you register for the event you can pick up your owl pellet from the Nature Centre (curbside pick-up) at a scheduled time. Or you can pay an additional $5 to have us mail it to you through Canada Post if you register by Monday November 30. $20/household or $15/individual Platform: Zoom - you will receive the link on the day of the event

We are so grateful to be hosting the event in partnership with the Toronto Ornithological Club!This event is for kids who love birds, and their parents too! The Christmas Bird Count is a long-standing community science project that started on Christmas Day 1900 when ornithologist Frank M. Chapman, proposed counting birds instead of hunting them. Legendary birder, Mark Peck, will teach us how to identify some of the birds that stick around for the winter and how to collect data to help with bird conservation efforts. Thank you to the High Park Western Beaches for generously funding this event.
