Great Backyard Bird Count

Don't miss a chance to stretch your wings this weekeend (Feb. 12-15).

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a chance for "citizen scientists" to count birds in their area and report the results via the Internet to capture a snapshot of the continent's bird population.

My column covers the GBBC.

Here's an excerpt from my column:

Beginning today, people are encouraged to participate in the 13th annual
Great Backyard Bird Count.

The four-day event runs today through Monday giving people a chance to
participate in a grand social experiment.

Participants simply count birds in their own backyards, park or any other
area where birds can be found, then report their findings online at www.birdcount.org.
