Counted and Be Counted!

Make sure your local birds are represented in the upcoming Great Backyard Bird Count—they won’t count unless YOU do! Save the dates: February 17-20 is the 15th annual GBBC.

Everything you need to know to participate is on the website at www.birdcount.org, including downloadable instructions, FAQs, and a how-to video. Get a regional list of the birds you might see in your area in February so you can brush up on your identification skills ahead of time.
