It’s Time for the Great Backyard Bird Count!

Hey readers,

The Great Backyard Bird Count kicks off today! The event happens every year to help keep track of how many bird species are in the wild.

To participate in the bird count, spend 15 minutes looking for birds outside and counting each one you see. Then, make a list of how many species you saw.

Here are some examples of different birds you might see:

• Sparrows
• Cardinals
• Blue jays
• Chickadees
• Pigeons
• Doves

You can learn more about the Great Backyard Bird Count here. Are you going to participate? Let us know in the comments!

AGO and chickaDEE Family Sunday!

Hi readers,

If you’re in the Toronto area on Sunday, March 2nd, come visit chickaDEE at the Art Gallery of Ontario!

From 1pm to 4pm in the Weston Family Learning Centre, you can make shadow puppets inspired by the AGO collections, take family friendly tours, compete in an “Around the World of the AGO” race, and more! There will be chickaDEE activity bags for the first 400 people, and our good friend Chirp will also be visiting!

Hope to see you there!
