The Great Backyard Bird Count goes from February 13 to 16, 2015. Right now! Starting today! What better way to ward off the bad luck of Friday the 13th than giving back to nature?
Keep track of the birds you see in your backyard, when you go for a walks, wherever you are. Then go to http://gbbc.birdcount.org/ to sign up and sign in, and record the birds you saw. It’s so easy. It’s also Reason #8 why I watch birds.
Your data tells researchers so much about bird behaviour in late winter/early spring, a time when there aren’t as many eyes on birds as there are during major migration. Your information counts! You get to contribute to science. Science, my friends!
So get out there and count those birds. Be a nature superhero.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Citizen Science!
