Hang out on the porch or peer out the windows of the cottage as we participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count! Staff will be at the BRDC Cottage Saturday, February 12th from 10-2 to participate in documenting the birds found at the Center, and submitting these data on eBird.

Anyone can participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from the beginning bird watcher to the expert. Each checklist submitted during the GBBC helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and the environment we share.

Stop in and share 15 minutes of your time in this worldwide citizen-science project with us. Or bring lunch and hang out longer. We want to explore, discover, and share our backyard with you!
