Lehigh Gap Nature Center, Slatington, is partnering with the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society for the society’s 11th annual CBC4Kids 9 a.m. to noon Jan. 11 at Muhlenberg College, Allentown.

The Lehigh Valley Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count for Kids (CBC4Kids), is a fun introduction to birding that teaches kids how to use binoculars, identify common birds, and collect scientific data.

CBC4Kids is based on the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count, a 125-year-old community science event that has become a cherished holiday tradition for birders nationwide.

Following an interactive session about birds, community science, and how to use binoculars, CBC4Kids participants will form teams and conduct a bird count in a nearby park.

After an hour of birding, everyone will reconvene to tally up the data and share their discoveries.

Participants are encouraged to stick around for a tour of the Muhlenberg College Bird Museum.

This event is open to kids ages 6-12 and their families.
