Counting is Caring: Join the Great Backyard Bird Count

The 23rd Annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) begins next  week on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14, and continues  through Monday, February 17. And when the latest science shows  that two-thirds of North American birds are threatened by climate  change, there is no better time to get involved. The GBBC is a free, fun, and family-friendly way to  support bird conservation. Here’s how it works: spend as  little as 15 minutes on one or more days of the count tallying birds  in your community, and then submit your lists online. The data  collected by volunteers from around the world powers conservation  initiatives and helps us better understand how climate change will  impact the birds we all love. All it takes is 15 minutes to make a difference. To learn how to  participate in this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count click HERE.  Snow Geese More posts about GBBC HERE
