It's time for the Great Backyard Bird Count!

This weekend, bird-watchers across the world will be counting birds as part of a citizen science project looking at bird populations. All you need to do is watch for birds for at least 15 minutes each day or only one day. You count how many birds of each species you saw. Then log into www.birdcount.org and share your data. The count runs from February 14th through the 17th. It's fun - get the family involved! And you are helping scientists determine what is happening to birds. Get watching now!
