FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Make Birding Plans for the GBBC next weekend

["FERGUS, Rob" <rfergus@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Next weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count.  Despite its name, this
birding event isn't just for backyard birders.  In fact, one of our
goals is to receive reports of every species known to be in each state
this winter.  Last year, observers reported 113 species in Tennessee,
down from 124 several years ago.  Can y'all set a new record this year?
Break 130?  So, whatever you do President's Day weekend, make plans to
see as many birds as you can, and report them online at
www.birdsource.org/gbbc.  You can also go to the website to keep track
of how many birds have been seen in the state at any time during the
GBBC, and make plans to chase after any that are still missing!
