On Christmas Day 125 years ago in 1900, an early leader of the Audubon Society established what today is one of the longest-running examples of high-quality citizen science: The Christmas Bird Count, or CBC.
Starting in late January, the Lindsborg Museum is hosting “A Day with the Birds” – a traveling exhibit celebrating the CBC and participatory citizen science.
The exhibit will be installed in the main gallery of the Museum building starting January 27 and running through March 7.
Developed by the Kauffman Museum in Newton, Kansas, the traveling exhibit includes taxidermized birds, informational panels (in both English and Spanish) and many hands-on interactive elements.
