This one's for the bird(er)s...
This contest was designed for participants to:
Have fun discovering the bird species found in different habitats on Kent Land Trust Preserves,
Learn how to identify birds by sight and sound, and
Contribute data to a local and global scientific database.
Participate individually or as a family and visit the six focal preserves as often as you want between June 1st and
