This year's Great Backyard Bird Count is held between February 15-18th. Its an annual four-day event jointly organized by Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent.
It raises awareness of birds, and provides an important record of where the birds are--a record that scientists can use well into the future to track how birds are faring as their environments change.
As the count progresses, anyone with Internet access can explore what is being reported from their own towns or anywhere in the United States and Canada. They can also see how this year's numbers compare with those from previous years. Participants may also send in photographs of the birds they see. A selection of images is posted in the online photo gallery.
