Piney Wood Lakes Chapter Texas Master Naturalist - Great Backyard Bird Count

The 2012 GBBC will take place Friday, February 17, through Monday, February 20. Please join us for the 15th annual count!

The Great Backyard Bird County is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It's free, fun, and easy--and it helps the birds.

During February 17-20, 2012 take part in a family-friendly, educational activity that is lots of fun, costs nother, and helps your local birds! Each year, tens of thousands of people throughout the U.S. and Canada take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). Participants count in their backyards, out their office windows, at local parks and nature centers, and absolutely anywhere else! You can count by yourself, with your family, community group, school, or friends! It's an ideal way for more experienced birders to introduce children, grandchildren, and others to the wonderful world of birds.
