Last year participants in Pinawa reported 612 birds of 18 species. Instructions, bird watching tips, and checklists specific to your area are available on the GBBC web site www.birdcount.org . You can compare results from different towns or regions as checklists are submitted. There are bird photos taken during the count so be sure to get your cameras out and send in some great photos of our feathery friends.

Enjoy all our birds and happy counting! We look forward to watching the results!

When winter hovers around us with bitterly cold temperatures, strong winds and blowing snow, it is always nice to sit inside by the window, enjoying a hot cup of coffee, while watching the flurry of activity around the bird feeders. For those of you who take pleasure in feeding a variety of birds over the winter, there is a bird count coming up in February that you might like to participate in.

The 11th annual Great Backyard Bird Count led by Audubon and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, takes place February 15-18, 2008. Anyone can count birds and enter their tallies online at www.birdcount.org . People of all ages and experience levels are invited to take part wherever they are - at home, in schoolyards, at local parks or wildlife refuges, even counting birds on a balcony or along the highway. Observers count the highest number of each species they see during at least 15 minutes on one or more of the count days.
