#316 – Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count
Each year people around the country count more than 600 species of birds and log the information onto a website to help ornithologists track changes in birds’ numbers and locations, possibly alerting them to worrisome declines in populations that result from more widespread problems. The Great Backyard Birdcount is a joint effort between the Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I did this in 2021 and it was a brutally cold spell. I only saw one bird – a sparrow – the entire time of the count. Hope next year will be a little milder. For 2022, the count will be held February 18-22nd.
