This weekend, Feb. 18-21, is the 14th annual Great Backyard Bird Count. This is an event where Citizen Scientists all across the US and Canada count birds and upload their observations to a central website. You can participate for as short as 15 minutes or for all 4 days; it's free, it's fun, and it helps scientists and the birds. You can watch the counts grow in real time as the weekend progresses, which gives us all a snapshot of where birds are and how many of each species.
To find out more, and to participate, you can go to the
NCWAS website or to the
Great Backyard Bird Count website:

There are also field trips taking place this weekend in North Central Washington, as part of the GBBC. For details, see the
Birding page of the NCWAS website.
We look forward to seeing your observations online!
