Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays, and Count Some Birds!

I hope you have a great holiday.  Some of the things I love over the holidays are: family, egg nog (homemade, not that stuff stores call egg nog), Canada Juniors hockey, turkey, leftover turkey sandwiches (with cranberry sauce and stuffing), and this year seeing my son get excited about anything related to Christmas.

Looking for something fun and outdoors over the holidays?  Participate in the Christmas Bird Count.  People like you (even if you're not a bird expert) count the birds you see on a specific day and send the information to a local coordinator.  There are counts organized between Dec 14 and Jan 5 across Canada and the USA.  Bring your family and make an event of it.
