Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb. 18-21, 2011



Fellow citizen scientists, it's time to stock up the feeders: The 14th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count is coming soon! GBBC is a joint project of Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audubon Society:

The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds. We'll be adding updated GBBC materials for the next count as they become available. 

Visit the website http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ and download the easy-to-follow instructions. Then go wash the windows and get ready to watch some birds.
