Upcoming Event: Great
Backyard Bird Count
On February 15-17th the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology would like to have you count the birds you see, not only in your backyard, but also on walks and birding trips. The Great Backyard Bird Count Website has all the details. It's great way to learn about birds and help bird research. The Wild Bird Center will be submitting checklists from the Saturday Walk and from the store. Please join in the fun!

Today's Bird Walk:
A chill this morning in advance of some snow? I hope it's coming. We went looking for bohemian waxwings this morning, but we only heard some cedars. Therefore, I have included in the slideshow a cedar waxwing image that I took yesterday in my front yard.
