WINONA LAKE - Tippecanoe Audubon Society will offer an experience that the whole family can enjoy, with a birdwatching event open to the public at Limitless Park, 1598 Park Ave., Winona Lake, from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 31.
Telescopes and experienced observers will help you observe and identify waterfowl on Winona Lake. There is no charge to attend.
This event is part of the annual Christmas Bird Count. Christmas counts can occur between Dec. 14 and January. The data are used by scientists to understand how bird distributions change as climates shift.
The Audubon Christmas count is the world’s oldest and largest citizen science event, in which nonscientists play an essential role. It has been held since 1900, and the local Tippecanoe Audubon chapter has been part of the effort since 1975.
