Grab your binoculars! Citizen's for Conservation Youth Education Committee will participate in the2016 Great Backyard Bird Count, Saturday, February 13, from 1-3 p.m. The GBBC is an annual international event that connects bird watchers of all ages to count birds, creating a real-time snapshot of where birds are all across the world.

The group will meet at CFC's office, 459 W. Highway 22, Lake Barrington, and will carpool to a nearby Habitat Corridors home which has a conservation easement. Participants will discuss how to identify birds and will learn about the history of the bird count. They'll hike out to count birds, observe birds at feeders, and then head indoors to compile their data and make feeders to help birds throughout the winter. Each child will receive a copy ofAudubon Adventures magazine, provided by Prairie Woods Audubon.

The class is open to children ages 4 and older. Parents are welcome to attend. CFC members are free; nonmembers pay $5 for the first child and $1 for each additional child. Bring binoculars if you have them, wear warm and comfortable foot gear, and dress for the weather.

Class size is limited to 30 children, so register early.
