Are you an avid bird watcher? Do you know anyone who is a proud member of the National Audubon Society? If you, or anyone you know, are interested in birds, then you will definitely want to check this out.
The 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count is about to kickoff and they need your help! Between February 12 and 15, people across North America are encouraged to record any and all birds they see. This can be anywhere: in your backyard, in a local park, in the city, along a country road, or anywhere else you may see a bird.
Over 93,000 reports were submitted for the Great Backyard Bird Count last year, making it the largest instantaneous snapshot of bird populations ever recorded. These sightings help researchers at Bird Studies Canada, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the National Audubon Society learn more about bird populations and their well-being.
To find out how you can get involved with the Great Backyard Bird Count, check out the official website here. Many events are scheduled and the site also provides information on how to record and submit your bird counts.
