SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we want to encourage our community to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) to help scientists monitor bird populations\, migration patterns\, and more! Started in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society\, this event allows birdwatchers to contribute valuable data on the health and distribution of various bird species. This year the GBBC takes place from February 13 to 16.  \nGetting involved in the Great Backyard Bird Count is easy and anyone can do it! To participate\, all you need is a way to observe birds—whether it’s from your window\, your porch\, or along any of the trails throughout Willowsford. You can count birds at any time during the event\, and there’s no need to commit to every day. The more people who contribute\, the more accurate the data\, which can be used by scientists to inform important conservation efforts. \nStep 1: Select a spot to watch birds. This can be your backyard\, on a trail\, or in a park. Just about anywhere in Willowsford will work! Here’s a couple recommendations:  \n\nWillow Lake in The Greens\nPinewoods Loop Trail in The Grove\nWet Meadow in The Grange\nAllen Farm Pond in The Grant\n\nStep 2: Watch Birds for 15 minutes or more at any time between February 13 to 16.  \nStep 3: Identify all the birds you see or hear. This may sound daunting to new and first-time birders\, but we promise it’s not hard! Our favorite tool is the Merlin Bird ID app. Download it before you get started and IDing your findings will be a breeze.  \nStep 4: Upload your data. The easiest ways to do this is through the Merlin app mentioned above or the eBird Mobile App. If you prefer to not use an app\, you can also upload from your computer. Visit birdcount.org for instructions.
