Great Backyard Bird Count – Feb. 15-18, 2008
The National Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology want to know where the birds are. They want us to help do that by taking a “snapshot” of our North American bird populations. Last year, more than 50,000 checklists were submitted by citizen scientists like you from every state and province.

Everyone’s contribution is important. It doesn’t matter
whether you identify, count, and report the 5 species coming to your backyard
bird feeder or the 75 species you see during a trip to a wildlife refuge.
Here’s what you do:
1) Count the birds in your backyard, local park or other natural area on any or all of the four count days. Record the highest number of individuals you see at any one time during your count.
2) Watch the birds for as long as you have time, but at least 15 minutes on each day.
3) Enter your count on-line at the Great Backyard Bird Count Site (http://www.birdsource.org) and submit your highest counts for that day.
4) After you have entered your count for the day, visit the website Map room and see the results from across the continent.
