Great
Backyard Bird Count |
(Statewide)
(Silver Bluff) |
February
13-16, 2009 |
The
Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event
that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting
birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the
birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate,
from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes
as little as 15 minutes. It’s free, fun, and
easy—and it helps the birds. Participants count
birds anywhere for as little or as long as they wish
during the four-day period. They tally the highest
number of birds of each species seen together at any
one time. To report their counts, they fill out an
online checklist at the
Great
Backyard Bird Count
website (teachers: click

for lessons). |
