MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
12th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count
February 13 – 16, 2009
COUNT FOR FUN! COUNT FOR THE FUTURE!
Dear Great Backyard Bird Count Participant,
Only four days remain until the 12th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC).
Here are just a few quick reminders and updates:
Ø To enter your bird count checklists, go to http://www.birdcount.org on the weekend of the count and click on the big “Enter your Checklists” button. Note: This button will not appear until 7:00 AM February 13.
Ø Don’t forget to upload your images for the GBBC photo contest! You can submit photos from February 13 through March 1 (a link to a page where you can upload photos will appear on www.birdcount.org on February 13). A select number of photos will be posted in the online gallery during the four days of the GBBC.
Ø Check out the GBBC blog at http://www.birdcount.org/blog, run by Audubon’s Senior Scientist, Rob Fergus, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Science Editor, Laura Erickson.
Ø Don’t forget to play Eagle Eyes! Hone your birding skills as you wait for the count to begin.
Feed the birds all winter!
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is offering one season of Project FeederWatch free to NEW participants who sign up during the month of February. Visit www.feederwatch.org to be part of this project and to receive a free kit and a subscription to the BirdScope quarterly newsletter.
Each year, your discoveries enlighten and inspire us. Thanks to all of you, we had great participation last year. With your help, we can get just as many or more checklists this year! We hope you’ll reach out to your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers by forwarding this email to them or personally inviting them to “Count for Fun, Count for the Future!”
Sincerely,
Janis Dickinson, Director of Citizen Science, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
