December is a great time to look for water birds that migrate from northern breeding grounds to New Jersey for the winter, and Willingboro Lakes hosts many such species. While looking for migratory ducks, grebes, and coots on the lake, we will also scan for songbirds that prefer the safety and shelter of the pines.

Burlington County's version of the Christmas Bird Count, a scientific survey of the bird species that over-winter in the County Parks. Participants will identify species by sight and sound at specified locations within each County Park (not for beginner birders). If you would like to contribute your bird identification skills to help the Parks System with the census, please register online. Group size is limited, and registration is required (all count dates open for registration on November 30). Exact start times will vary and are available at the time of registration. Prepare for at least 2 hours of cold and windy weather at each location
