Here’s the info from the email:
The Great Backyard Bird Count kicks off on Friday morning! Be a part of a global community of bird enthusiasts who, for the next four days, will be spending time in their favorite places watching, listening, and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them to us.
Reminder, if you have not signed up for tomorrow’s webinar, Watching and Counting Birds is Fun: Tips for the Great Backyard Bird Count, consider joining us to learn more about this event.
If you haven’t downloaded our apps for participating, or need to brush-up on how to use the tools, visit our participate page before the count starts. Plus, everyone who enters one sighting via Merlin, or a 15+ minute checklist in eBird, will be automatically entered to win ZEISS Terra ED 8×42 binoculars!
Also, as a special thank you, enjoy free access to the Cornell Lab’s groundbreaking Birds of the World online encyclopedia—starting February 16, through the end of the count. Use it to look up local birds, do some armchair birding, or enjoy the breathtaking diversity of the feathered world. Check out Birds of the World now.
Have a great time admiring the birds this weekend,
– Your friends at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon, and Birds Canada
