If you enjoy watching birds, please consider being part of this year's Great Backyard Bird Count.

It takes place February 12-15 (Friday-Monday).

All that is required is a minimum of 15 minutes per day of bird watching and recording your observations on the website that is hosting the yearly count.

All levels of bird knowledge are very welcomed.

This event helps those who study birds to get a picture of the happenings and health of birds in North America, and around the world.

According to the info page for the Count, "bird populations are shifting" and the more people who participate in this yearly event, the better a picture there is of this "annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds".

To find out more and to register for the Count please check out this site:

Thank you in advance if you participate!

Happy BIrding!

Hello Gloria - while I don't much(or anything) about birds, I can see the benefit of such a census. Happy Counting. Every bird makes a difference, right?

Hi Gloria - I remember this bird count idea. I'll have to pass this year as we've got some construction going on out back and the water fountain is down. It's so fun to watch all the varities of birds that come by to visit regularly. We get hundreds of birds! And along with that is a lot of bird sh**!

Gloria, have not heard of the bird count, and it has been so windy, think they will fly out of the trees!

Gloria- I'm so glad you reminded me of this. I saw it somewhere but forgot to make a note of it. We have a lot of birds in our backyard so I'm excited.

What an interesting event, Gloria... I'd never heard of it. I have no "real" backyard so no birds to watch.

I had no idea there was such an event. It makes sense however. I had noticed far fewer magpies in my yard for a couple of years. Then yesterday, when I was out and about in my community, I came across at least a dozen of then in a neighbor's yard.
