GBBC 2013

Feb. 15-17    

The 2013 Great Backyard Bird Count is a great way for children to get interested in citizen science.

This 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.   

See www.birdcount.org for colorful and interesting information on how to participate.

Come out and see how the birds are using the habitat of the sanctuary to survive the cold winter. Some of our birds, like Cardinals, Chickadees, and even Bluebirds, stay at the sanctuary all year, but other birds, such as White-throated Sparrows  are present only in winter.

People of all ages are welcome.  

 

Meet at 9 a.m. at the entry gate to the sanctuary at 13030 Old Annapolis Road (just east of Detrick Road) in Mt. Airy. No rest room facilities are available, and the walk will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather or deep snow on the ground. For more information, contact Bob Schaefer at robert.schaefer@gmail.com or (301) 831-5660, or check out Audubon's web site at http://www.centralmdaudubon.org.
