11th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count
Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology encourage participants to count birds anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. All birders can report the common birds they see in their yards or neighborhoods, while more experienced birders can report birds seen at birding hotspots or field trips. Count birds from wherever you are and enter your tallies online at www.birdcount.org. Observers count the highest number of each species they see during at least 15 minutes on one or more of the count days. The website provides helpful hints for identifying birds. Participants can compare results from their town or region with others as checklists pour in from throughout the U.S. and Canada. They can also view bird photos taken by participants during the count and send in their own digital images for the online photo gallery and contest. Each tally helps us learn more about how our North American birds are doing and the future of our environment. The GBBC takes place every February during Presidents’ Day weekend.
