Great Backyard Bird Count - February 15-18


Calling all bird-watchers – amateurs and experts, young and old, we need your help! Join the Great Backyard Bird Count, February 15-18, 2013!



Why Count Birds?



Your counts can help us answer many questions:

  1. How will this winter's snow and cold temperatures influence bird populations?
  3. How will the timing of birds’ migrations compare with past years?
  4. How are bird diseases, such as West Nile virus, affecting birds in different regions?
  5. What kinds of differences in bird diversity are apparent in cities versus suburban, rural, and natural areas?
  6. Are any birds undergoing worrisome declines that point to the need for conservation attention?
