Great Backyard Bird Count 2008

The Great Backyard Bird Count starts Saturday the 16th and ends on Tuesday the 19th. Join Lorna & friends and check out those birds at the feeder. It is a great thing to do and they have a nice web site. You can print off certificates for your family when they have participated-

"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. " GBBC is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society.

January 2007 was the warmest on record, did that impact the distribution of birds in 2008?
