The Great Backyard Bird Count
February 17-20
The 2012 Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) will start on Friday, February 17th, and run through the following Monday, February 20th (i.e., over the Presidents' Day weekend).
If you haven't participated in past years, give it a try this year! You'll see how getting involved in a scientific effort can actually be fun and easy! The GBBC is open to everyone!
Remember, just by doing what you enjoy doing anyway, watching the birds at your feeders, you can help to make this annual event successful. Your bird counting contributions really do count, and it's always impressive to see how the many small contributions add up to create a big, comprehensive picture of our U.S. bird population.

Winter Wildlife Nature Walk February 18th, 9:00 am Fred Archibald Sanctuary
We will look for wintering birds and possibly some very early spring migrants. The sanctuary contains meadows as well as forests so there is a wide variety of habitats for different birds. The walk is suitable for all ages.
Meet at 9 a.m. at the entrance to the sanctuary, which is on the east side of Boyer's Mill Road, one mile north of Rte. 144 in New Market. Wear sturdy shoes and clothing appropriate for the predicted weather. There are no rest room facilities at the sanctuary, and the walk will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather or deep snow. For more information see the website www.centralmdudubon.org or contact Dave or Elaine Pardoe at 410-381-0449.
Our Nature Walks are always free of charge,
and suitable for the whole family.
People of all ages are welcome.
