The Great Backyard Bird Count is coming up!
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society launched the GBBC in 1998. The GBBC is intended to take a global "snapshot" of bird populations, which are used by scientists to get an idea of what birds are where. Since then, more than 100,000 people have participated in the four-day count.
Here's all you have to do: count birds for 15 minutes on any given day of the count. Then submit your checklist to eBird through the GBBC portal: http://gbbc.birdcount.org/
This count is fun, enjoyable, and provides important information for science. If you can identify an American Robin and have 15 minutes to spare, you can contribute to science this weekend!
