Are you ready for some birding? If you love watching avian dinosaurs as much as I do, and you love citizen science, why not participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC)? I know I'm going to. All you have to do is sit and watch birds, record which ones you see, and send that data to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology / the Audubon Society / Bird Studies Canada so that they can compile it and see the big picture about what kinds of birds are out there, where they are hanging out for winter, and how many of them are around. When I say participation is both fun and easy, I totally mean it. Find out for yourself, and participate in the GBBC when it begins this Friday, February 17, 2012.
