Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb 16-19, 2007 This weekend, the tenth annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, will give everyone a chance to discover the birds in their neighborhood and "Count for the Record." During February 1619, 2007, people of all ages, from beginners to experts, are invited to join this event which spans all of the United States and Canada. Participants can take part wherever they are at home, in schoolyards, at local parks or wildlife refuges. Observers simply count the highest number of each species they see during an outing or a sitting, and enter their tally on the Great Backyard Bird Count web site at www.birdsource.org/gbbc. Last year, participants submitted more than 60,000 checklists and reported 7.5 million birds overall and 623 different species. Adair county's totals for 2006 (from a single submission) included 14 species and 98 birds. We know of quite a few species that are common to the area that haven't made previous counts, including several types of hawks and many waterbirds common around the lake. A printable checklist for this area is available from the GBBC site. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2007-02-15 09:58:13 | Comments | Printable version
