Great Backyard Bird Count
February 17 to February 20
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds.
Crowsnest Conservation Society encourages local bird watchers to take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count. Visit the following site for details: http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/whycount.html
