Send in reports to www/birdsource.org/gbbc. May not be as much fun as chasing rarities, but helps the data base. Carol Ghebelian Indian Head, MD gheb@bellatlantic.net -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [BIRDCHAT] Great Backyard Bird Count Feb 13 - 16 Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2004 13:37:09 -0500 From: Allison Wells Reply-To: Allison Wells To: BIRDCHAT@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU Greetings, Chatters- Just a quick note to let you know that the 7th annual Great Backyard Bird Count will run from Feb 13 through 16 this year. That's one week from today. The GBBC is managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon, with sponsorship from Wild Birds Unlimited stores. Just count birds on any or all of the count days and send them over the Internet to www.birdsource.org/gbbc. Their are cool maps and tables that are updated almost instantly, so you can see how your observations contribute to the continentwide perspective. There's information at the web site for teachers and educations, and for birders of all skill levels. This year, we have several new features, one to help people learn how to create habitat out of their yards, and another to encourage families to make birding part of their everyday life. We appreciate any help you can provide to get the word out about the count (please forward this blurb to any listservs for which it would be appropriate - I'd appreciate a cc on that). We hope you'll all participate. It's fun, easy, and helps build our database of continentwide bird distribution and abundance. Thanks for any help you can give!
