Looking for something fun (and important) to do this weekend? Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count. It’s a fun, family-friendly activity which helps scientists better understand birds’ lives and the many factors impacting their welfare.
Wild Birds Unlimited is proud to be a founding and major sponsor of the GBBC, which is a joint effort between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada.
The information you share about your backyard birds will help drive important research across the globe. And it’s a simple action you can take to help Save the Song Birds.
Here’s how to join in:
1. Keep your feeders filled to attract a wide variety of birds to your backyard.
2. For at least 15 minutes on one or more of the count days (February 17-20, 2023), simply tally the numbers and kinds of birds you see.
3. Report your bird sightings https://www.birdcount.org/participate.
That’s it! You’ll be doing the birds a favor, while having a little fun.
Be sure to stop by the store for everything you need to keep your feeders filled throughout the count.
