The Great Backyard Bird Count

Yesterday began the Great Backyard Bird Count, "an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent" (http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/whycount.html).

You can participate (from your own backyard) for one or all four days of this event! Read more now at Bird Source (see above URL).

I'm starting today and so must get offline to see what birds are in my yard. A quick glance outside shows a gray squirrel under my feeder, which has my dogs in hysterics--ha! I guess I'll bundle up and go out with them, with my binoculars and notepad in hand.

Till later . . . happy birding!
