SUMMARY:16th Annual Christmas Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Take part in the 16th Annual Christmas Bird Count at Lake Carlos State Park.\n  \nFor question\, further details\, or to sign-up to participate in the count or feeder counts\, call 320-993-3755. Sign-up for both the regular count and feeder count needs to be done by the end of the day on Friday\, December 26\, 2025. Come enjoy a great day counting birds and meeting some great people! See below for the full details. \nMeet at the Visitor Center at 7:30am for assignment of count areas and a quick refresher lesson on bird identification and counting techniques. You do not have to be an expert birder to participate in this exciting and rewarding event\, as we will place experienced birders with less experienced ones\, so come enjoy the day.

Explore the Alexandria count area in search of our winter bird residents. Stay a few hours or spend the whole day. Information collected is used to track migration patterns and changes in winter bird species abundance throughout North America. \n***NOTES: This program does require some outside time\, so dress appropriately for outdoor winter conditions. Bring a snack or your lunch if staying for the entire day or enjoy snacks and light meal back at the park after the count is over while we share our findings from the day. \nFor more information contact Ben Eckhoff at 763-993-3755 or by email at benjamin.eckhoff@state.mn.us.
