The Great Backyard Bird Count



Hey! Don't forget this weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count and everyone is welcome to participate. Regardless of your birding skill level, sightings you report will help contribute to a continentwide snapshot of this winter's birds. This winter has been unusually warm and it will be interesting to see how 2006 compares to other years - I've certainly noticed difference in bird species. Hopefully, I'll be reporting a backyard Yellow-rumped Warbler this weekend. It was still there yesterday, so I'm pretty confident it will remain for the count.
