Bird watchers of all ages will be counting birds from Friday-Monday, Feb. 18-21, to create a real-time snapshot of where 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.
