The 13th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count is coming! Your chance to count for fun and count for the future comes from Friday, February 12, through Monday, February 15. Whether you participate once or several times, by submitting your list of the birds you see at http://www.birdcount.org/ you will help scientists learn more about how birds are faring in your neighborhood.
The count has been a joint project of the Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for many ears. This year, they are delighted to welcome Bird Studies Canada (BSC) as the first international partner. “Bird Studies Canada is delighted to be the Canadian partner for this extremely valuable program,” said George Finney, President of BSC. “Participating in the GBBC is an excellent way for Canadians to reconnect with their love of nature and birds.”
The more people who participate in the GBBC, the better the information scientists will have about how bird populations may be changing over time due to habitat loss, climate change, disease, or other factors. To take part, just check out details at the Great Backyard Bird Count website and this Friday, start counting!
