The Great Backyard Bird Count
February 12 - 15
The 13th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count
-
Visit www.birdcount.org for easy-to-follow instructions, including tips for identifying bird species. Download a checklist for your area.
-
Count the birds you see, wherever you choose to count. Write down the highest number of individual birds you see at one time—that way you will avoid counting any bird twice.
-
After at least 15 minutes of watching in one place, report your results online at www.birdcount.org. (You can spend more time observing if you prefer.)
-
You can repeat your count at the same place on each day of the Great Backyard Bird Count, or you can visit other locations. Submit a new checklist for each day that you count.
