The 28th annual Great Backyard Bird Count, organized by the National Audubon Society, Cornell Lab or Ornithology and Birds Canada, takes place today (Friday, Feb. 14) through Monday, Feb. 17. Participants are asked to watch for birds in their backyard or anywhere they’d like for 15 minutes or more on at least one event day and identify/report all the birds seen or heard within that timeframe. The event offers three ways to report your findings depending on your level of bird expertise (beginners welcome!); click here for more information.
