Lots of us watch birds, but not enough of us count them! Here is your chance to experience citizen science at its best by contributing them to the Great Backyard Bird Count. Scheduled for February 13 through February 16, you can participate in as many days as you like, for as little as 15 minutes a day. It’s simple, easy and suitable for all ages.
Lots of information on the GBBC can be found by clicking here. There are tips on feeding birds, IDing birds, beautiful photos contributed by bird watchers like you, and the chance to watch the data maps in real time.
Count birds at your feeder! Count them on your favorite walk! Count them anywhere! Join other bird watchers worldwide and add your sightings to science!
The RCAS monthly monitoring walk around West Rutland Marsh is scheduled in conjunction with the GBBC. Meet at the West Rutland Price Chopper parking lot at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feburary 14.
