NORTH MANCHESTER — Tippecanoe Audubon Society will offer a relaxing holiday experience the whole family can enjoy, with a birdwatching event open to the public, from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 31, at Limitless Park, 1598 Park Ave., Winona Lake.

Telescopes and experienced observers will help you observe and identify waterfowl on Winona Lake, as well as other birds in the area. There is no charge to attend, and Limitless Park is handicapped-accessible.

This event is part of the annual Christmas Bird Count. Christmas counts can occur between Dec. 14 and January. The data are used by scientists to understand how bird distributions change as climates shift. The Audubon Christmas count is the world’s oldest and largest citizen science event, in which nonscientists play an essential role. It has been held since 1900, and the local Tippecanoe Audubon chapter has been part of the effort since 1975.
