      Great Backyard Bird Count; Feb. 12...15

New York, NY and Ithaca, NY—Bird watchers coast to coast are invited to take part in the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count, Friday, February 12, through Monday, February 15, 2010.  Participants in the free event will join tens of thousands of volunteers of all levels of birding experience to count birds in their own backyards, local parks or wildlife refuges.   More information at "The Great Backyard Bird Count"

Each checklist submitted by these "citizen scientists" helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how the birds are doing—and how to protect them. Last year, participants turned in more than 93,600 checklists online, creating the continent's largest instantaneous snapshot of bird populations ever recorded.  Tallahassee made #3 NATIONALLY. 

If you need assistance in entering your bird count data into the data base contact Mary Huggins or Susan Teisciero, owners  of Wild Birds Unlimited, 1505-2 Governor's Square Blvd., Tallahassee (850-576-0002 ).
