Great Backyard Bird Count - Feb. 16-19

The 10th annual Great Backyard Bird Count is coming up February 16-19. Help create a mid-winter snapshot of where the birds are by counting birds at any location for at least 15 minutes on one or more of the count days.Last year, participants recorded more than 7.5 million birds of 622 species across the United States and Canada.It's a fun family thing to do and you really do make a difference for the birds - "your" birds do count and you make a difference for them when you submit their visits to your site.Get more info at BirdSource.org.

I'd love to hear about the birds in your area -- just leave a comment. It's pretty cold here in the midwest right now, but we have some geese and ducks that are wintering over.
