Great Backyard Bird Count

My bad, for not posting this sooner.  The annual four-day Great Backyard Bird Count is this weekend, through Monday.  Anybody can participate.  Just count the largest number of each bird species you see in your backyard at any one time (this avoids double counting) and submit your checklist on the website.  You can participate for only one day, for as little as 15 minutes, so you can still get in for Sunday and Monday. 

You can get a regional checklist of birds in your area here.  The complete instructions are here.
