Weminuche Audubon invites you to celebrate the beauty of birds with us in February events. First up is the Great Backyard Bird Count, four days in February when the world comes together for the love of birds, a global event organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society and Birds Canada.  Beginning on Friday, February 14, and extending through Monday, February 17, you can participate by counting birds for as little as 15 minutes or for as long as you like wherever you are and then entering your observations on ebird.org. It’s just that easy.  Enter as many or as few checklists of your observations as you like at different locations or times during the 4 days of the count

Documenting bird populations across the globe before one of their annual migrations  helps scientists understand how bird populations are faring.  For more information on the count see birdcount.org.
