Great Backyard Bird Count

Just wanted to encourage everyone to spend some time this weekend participating in this year's Great Backyard Bird Count. All you have to do is count birds for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count, February 13–16, 2009. You can count for longer than that if you wish!

Count birds in as many places and on as many days as you like—one day, two days, or all four days. Submit a separate checklist for each new day. You can also submit more than one checklist per day if you count in other locations on that day.

You can find more information and sign up here:

Cheers and happy birding!

I just had time to do my first count. Not too many around then, but I know there'll be more later.

This has been very enjoyable. I live in an Apartment community near a busy road, but that doesn't deter the beautiful bird songs and calls I can hear. There are lots of trees and shrubbery. It's amazing what you notice when you stop, sit still and listen and watch. I heard a Woodpecker for the first time this morning. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Yesterday, I counted more than 30 small birds in the back yard plum trees. Don't know what kind they are as they never were still long enough to get a good look at them. They certainly do enjoy the tangled branches of the tree and the peanut suet cages hanging up there.
