<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"> The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is an annual four-day event that
engages birdwatchers of all ages across North America. Anyone can
participate, from beginners to experts. Count for as little as 15
minutes on a single day, or for as long as you like each day of the
event. It’s free, fun, and easy – and it helps the birds! <br><br> The
count takes place this weekend – Friday, February 18, through Monday,
February 21. And no, it is not too late to participate. Because advance
sign-up is not required, it is as simple as counting birds at a location
near you, tallying the highest number of birds of each species seen
together at once, and filling out an online checklist on the GBBC website here: <a href="http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/">http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/</a><br><br>As the weekend progresses, feel free to visit the website regularly to check out results and share photographs, and become a GBBC fan on Facebook<b><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49535001197&v=wall"></a></b>. It’s going to be a great weekend for birders in Canada and the United States!<br><br><br></td></tr></table>
