The 2009 Great Backyard Bird Count is less than a month away!‏

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

12^th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count

February 13 – 16, 2009

COUNT FOR FUN! COUNT FOR THE FUTURE!

Dear Great Backyard Bird Count participant,

The twelfth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is fast approaching–February 13 is less than a month away! Plan to join tens of thousands of other bird watchers across North America as we tally the birds over these four days. Count on your own or with family, friends, and neighbors to make this the biggest, best GBBC ever!

If you know someone who might be interested in joining the GBBC for the first time, please pass along our website: www.birdcount.org!

Note- anyone can do this from anywhere- just sit and watch outside your window or go to a local park. Just bring a notepad and pen and keep track of the time you spend watching. It's a fun way to spend a few hours or even the entire day. We're looking forward to participating again this year.
