Great Backyard Bird Count is Feb. 18-21

The Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb. 18-21, is a national event that provides an opportunity for everyone to help with a research project. Researchers at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology need your help to determine where birds are living during the winter. Watch for birds in your backyard, then go to www.birdcount.org to report the birds that you saw. Encourage your friends and family to participate.

The Great Backyard Bird Count is sponsored by the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
