Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend

This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count! We've been busy the last couple weeks at work lining things up, and we're almost ready to go. For the first time ever we have regional reviewers to check up on unusual reports of birds in every single state and Canadian province and territory. Today I've been blitzing state birding email lists with information about how their states did last year, and urging folks to get out and see more birds this year. More birders+more birds=more fun! That's the equation for GBBC success!

So, whatever else you do this weekend, head out to your favorite birding area, check out the birds in your yard, and report the birds from both places each day at the GBBC website. Then spend some time on the website checking out the nifty maps and up-to-date reports on the birds being seen in your area and across the country. Take your friends and family out and have some fun!
