The GREAT BACKYARD BIRD COUNT is COMING!

Our cat, Mikey, watches juncos and white-throated sparrows from the comfort of his perch in the breakfast nook…he’s ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count! Are you?

The Great Backyard Bird Count is slated for February 18 – 21, 2022 (that’s President’s Day weekend)! This is a really great way to contribute to environmental science—as well as get to know your avian friends!

Participating in this event is free and can be done at home. You can learn all about it here: https://www.birdcount.org/participate/
