The annual Christmas Bird Count is kicking off across Canada this weekend, and local birdwatchers are looking for volunteers to pitch in.

Organizers say the goal is to help engage a new generation in one of the continent's longest running citizen science projects. No birdwatching experience is necessary. "You can go out and have a fun day out birding and actually contribute to some meaningful scientific data as well," she said.
