Join us next Sunday for a fun day of winter birding around Slave Lake. Our goal - to count as many birds in Slave Lake as we can in one day! Don't worry if you are not an expert birder. We work in teams so you will have the chance to learn some tips from our more experienced participants. This annual census of winter bird populations will take place in over 2000 locations over the holiday season and it is the longest running Citizen Science program in North America. ![]()

Even if you can't join us, you can still help us out. Send in your tips on the locations of the busy bird feeders around town. Or keep track of the birds that visit your backyard feeder that day and send in your data. ![]()
