Great Backyard Bird Count

The Great Backyard Bird Count, sponsored by Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, begins in just four days. Friday, February 13, is the first day that bird watchers of all ages can tally the birds in their communities and backyards, then enter their totals on the GBBC website.

Participants can download a checklist from the site, spending as little as fifteen minutes counting birds, or as long as they like. Waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds and songbirds (anything and everything) are then reported on the website.

Grab your binocs and go!
