The 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count is upon us! It begins tomorrow, Friday, February 18th and runs through Monday, February 21st. I look forward to this activity every year. It is a fun time for bird watchers of all ages and experience to get out there and count birds to help the birds themselves.
Scientists use the counts, along with observations from other citizen-science projects, such as the Christmas Bird Count, Project FeederWatch, and eBird, to give us an immense picture of our winter birds. With your help, we can get a much better idea of what’s happening with our North American birds than scientists could get on their own.
Here is a video giving you all the information you need to have a successful Great Backyard Bird Count in 2011. You can also go to their website to get all the pertinent information at The Great Backyard Bird Count.
