The Great Backyard Bird Count Info Session (at MCPL)
February 13 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
The Great Backyard Bird Count (https://www.birdcount.org/) is an annual, global citizen science event that adds hundreds of thousands of bird observations over just a few days. This data helps scientists and bird enthusiasts keep tabs on bird populations–a topic of great ecological concern. This year, the count runs from February 14th-17th, 2025, and the Forestry Outreach Center would like to teach interested folks how to participate! All you need is 15 minutes a day over the timeframe to make an impact and to observe these wonderful animals.
We will gather in the Meeting Room at the Berea Branch of the Madison County Public Library at 4:30 pm on February 13th.
Bring your smartphones! If you’d like to download the free apps eBird, Merlin, and/or iNaturalist beforehand, please do.
