Calling all birders for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — The Audubon Society will hold its 28th annual Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend, allowing birders of all ages to help create a global data set of bird species and numbers.

To participate in the free citizen science event, you just need to find somewhere to watch birds for 15 minutes or more Friday through Monday.

“It’s called the Great Backyard Bird Count, but you don’t have to have a backyard to do it,” Pilchuck Audubon Society Executive Director Brian Zinke said. “You can do it from your apartment balcony or go to a local park or schoolyard.”

Once you’ve decided on where to observe, you’ll identify all the birds you see or hear within your planned time and location, and then share your gatherings to contribute to the worldwide collection.

1. Neat. I can already tell you what birds I have in my backyard. Robins, and the occasional bluejays. That's it.
