It's time for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count! This is the 25th year that the world has come together for the love of birds. Over February 18-21, 2022, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society invite people to spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them. These observations help scientists better understand global bird populations before one of their annual migrations.
Of course, the Great Backyard Bird Count is also the perfect time to read about these feathered friends!
