[Birdtalk] Great Backyard Bird Count coming up Feb 13-16

[FERGUS, Rob]

Time to make plans for the Great Backyard Bird Count February 13-16.  Last year Utah birders reported 163 species on 481 checklists.  It would be great to see those number obliterated this year!

You can count anywhere in the U.S. or Canada-your backyard, local park, favorite birding spot, supermarket, wherever!  You can submit checklists for as many locations as you want, and can submit a new checklist for each location each day.  Remember, the more checklists we get, the more useful the data is for mapping bird abundance and distribution through time.

Have fun out there and report your bird sightings during the count to www.birdcount.org.
