As we explore, we’ll observe local bird species and contribute valuable data to a global community science effort.
While Canyon Mouth Park typically charges a $15 per vehicle fee, admission will be free on February 16 in celebration of President’s Day.
Participants should wear sturdy hiking footwear and bring water, sun protection, and a snack if desired. Leashed dogs and children are welcome.
The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) encourages people around the world to become citizen scientists by spending at least 15 minutes documenting birds using the Merlin Bird ID App from February 13–16, 2026.
