The Great Backyard Bird Count February 15-18, 2019

By

Heron In DelcoCalling all birders who are willing to count birds in your backyard or somewhere close to where you live.

 

This is the 22nd year for this event and it is important for this info to be gathered so organizations like the Audubon Society and Cornell Lab can continue to monitor the health of birds on our planet.   

 

It only requires a minimum of 15 minutes per day for one to four days.  

 

If you enjoy bird watching, here is an opportunity to share what you see from the comfort of your home or walking on your favorite outdoor trail or park.  

It is a great activity to do with children, friends, family or by yourself.

 

Here is a link about the event Great Backyard Bird Count.

Here is a link to sign up Bird Count.

Happy Birding!

Gloria, one of the fun part of our back yard is hearing all the birds, we have a couple bushes and the neighbors have a few as well and I do not want to exaggerate but you can hear chirping of about 30-50 birds every morning, Endre

My brother and his wife are members of the Audubon Society and participate in many bird count events.  Me, I love watching birds but don't count them.  LOL

While I absolutely love Cardinals, that bird pictured with the vivid yellow head is stunning.  We don't get anythin like it here in Sacramento.  We don't see Cardinals either.

Yes William Feela something you and your wife enjoy doing if I recall.

Sharon Lee I bet you are seeing some interesting birds on the road.  Hope all is well.

Endre Barath, Jr. sounds like a great way to start the day!  Unless if they wake you before you want to wake!

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD I bet you have some wonderful birds where you live.  Not sure if you are getting the snow like Seattle.  The snow does make it easier to see the birds.

Hey Carol Williams watching them is still a good thing!

Myrl Jeffcoat it is interesting how some birds did not venture over the Rockies or get transported over to your part of the country.  Yes the male gold finches are spectacular during mating season when the thistle is in bloom!  Then their color changes back to a muted color much like the females' color.
