Great Backyard Birdcount
Each February, for four days, the world comes together for the love of birds. Over these four days Audubon invites people to spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them to us. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations. For more information, visit Birdcount.org
National Bird Feeding Month
Cupid isn’t the only winged object that people need to watch out for this month. In 1994, the United States Congress proclaimed February to be National Bird Feeding Month. Backyard bird feeding is enjoyed by over 41 million North Americans. And while February is National Wild Bird Feeding Month, with the right provisions, people can enjoy a wide variety of backyard birds all year long.
Get involved this month by doing the following:
Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count
Add another feeder to your yard
Add water to your yard
Get a friend into birding
Enjoy the birds!
