From the latest BSC newsletter:
Get Ready for the 15th Great Backyard Bird Count
27 January 2012 – From February 17-20, take part in a free, family-friendly, educational activity that is loads of fun and supports bird conservation! Each year, tens of thousands of Canadians and Americans take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), counting birds wherever they happen to be. The possibilities are endless!
The GBBC is a great way for people of all ages and levels of birding experience to learn more about local bird species. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with nature, from your living room window or by hiking a local trail. Count on your own or as part of a group of family, friends, or classmates. The GBBC is also an ideal way for more experienced birders to introduce others to the wonderful world of birding.
Explore the species seen in your community or province using maps and charts on the Canadian GBBC website, where you can also find out how to take part in the community challenge and view Canadian highlights. Make the birds in your neighbourhood count as part of the big picture in continental bird conservation. Join in this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count. Email us at gbbc@birdscanada.org for more information.
BSC is seeking GBBC Ambassadors. If you are interested in promoting the GBBC in your area, you can sign up online. For more information, contact the Canadian GBBC Coordinator, Kerrie Wilcox, at gbbc@birdscanada.org or 1-888-448-2473 extension 134. The GBBC is a joint project of Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with Canadian partner Bird Studies Canada.

Please vote! This issue is near and dear to my heart. If you missed the article in the local paper this summer, you can read it here:
and yes, it is not lost on me that it's a gas company giving money for this and the same nesting ground is in danger due to roads and traffic. Sometimes we gotta take what we can get. Thanks for voting.
