The Great Backyard Bird Count

Eli and I have decided to participate in "The Great Backyard Bird Count" this year. All over North America, people spend at least 15 minutes on one or more days during February 13-16 counting the birds in their area and recording it on the GBBC website. The information collected is used by scientists worldwide who study ornithology. You don't need to sign up to participate - simply visit here to find out how to count and record your results as well as view lots of other information and frequently asked questions regarding the Count. Last night we printed off a regional bird list for our area to use as a checklist as well as a data form to write down the info. they want before entering it into the computer. Eli and I are looking forward to our "search" next weekend!
