Are you itching to reach for your binoculars and look for as many birds as you can? Well, you’re in luck.
The 15th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) will be held February 17-20, 2012. The GBBC is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where birds are across the U.S. and Canada. If you are intrigued, visit www.birdcount.org for more information.
It seems fairly easy too. Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from novice bird watchers to experts. Participants count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the event and report their sightings online.
What birds do you like to look for in winter?
