This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count, in case no one said anything
I am sort of surprised that the site isn't linked up to inaturalist, or Project Noah, but it's not. I just wanted to share this with people who might want to participate. It lasts until Monday, Feb 18, 2013. You can visit the link for more information here: http://birds.audubon.org/great-backyard-bird-count
It's a great way to involve your kids in participating in a citizen science project too. A great excuse to go outside and see what's going on.
"The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of winter bird populations. Participants are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the event and report their sightings online at www.birdcount.org. Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from beginning bird watchers, to experts, and you can now participate from anywhere in the world!"
