Help count birds
The Great Backyard Bird Count lets kids and adults discover birds and help with a global citizen science project. During the Feb. 15-18 count period, volunteers report the bird species they see in their back yards, adding to a database maintained by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. It's fun, fast and it helps birds. Learn more and sign up at:www.birdsource.org/gbbc.
