The Knox Creation Justice Team invites you to join in birdwatching!

Here are some suggestions:
 Hang a suet cage or bird feeder with wild bird seed
 observe birds in your garden or local park
 Visit the Englishman River Estuary
 Go for a walk in Rathtrevor and observe ducks and water fowl on the beach and birds in the woods

Join in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC): This global event takes place from February 13–16, 2026. Participants can count birds for as little as 15 minutes from their own backyards or local parks like Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park and report sightings. For more information on how to participate go to https://www.birdcount.org/participate/

Why is this important? We are losing bird species! According to A Rocha UK, “We’ve lost a staggering 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 60 years. With birds facing so many challenges, it’s more important than ever to get involved in the Birdwatch.”
