Chickens counting sheep isn't quite how the Great Backyard Bird Count works. (That's Chocolate Chip Biscotti and her ewe lamb back on 6/27/08.)
Bird and nature fans throughout North America are invited to take part in the 14th annual Great Backyard Bird Count, which runs from Friday, February 18th through Monday, February 21st. This four-day event is a joint project between The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the National Audubon Society, and Bird Studies Canada (BSC) that engages bird watchers in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent.
Anyone can participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from novice bird watchers to experts. It's a great opportunity for families, students, and people of all ages to discover the wonders of nature in backyards, schoolyards, and local parks while making an important contribution to conservation.
