The Great Backyard Bird Count

This February, we plan on participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count, a project sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audubon Society.



From their web site:



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. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds.



You can find out more information at their web site: http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc

You can also learn about birding, birding tools, checklists, identification tips, and other bird related information.

They also have a page for kids where they can take a quiz, learn bird vocabulary, print coloring pages, and learn about birds in their area. http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/kids/gbbc-is-for-kids

Thanks Mark, for finding this!
