A great way to help birds besides feeding and watering them is to count them. The Great Backyard Bird Count is held each year over four days in February. It is conducted by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audubon Society. All information gathered is reported by volunteer individuals, such as myself, and reported via the internet. The purpose? To see which species have increased and which have declined, which have kept to their current range, and which have migrated to new areas. Also, how the weather influences populations of birds, and what kinds of birds are in cities or suburban or rural or natural areas.

The Great Backyard Bird Count has grown every year, and this year is no exception. As of 2/24/11, over 80,000 checklists have been submitted. Checklists are lists that you submit of all the birds you observe on a given day, time, and area. The total species observed as of 2/24/11 is 589, and a total of 10,202,693 birds counted!

It is a fun way to help with research that no one could afford to pay for, but the rewards of doing the count and helping with the research is beyond measure. At least take a look at The Great Backyard Bird Count website to see what was reported in your area!
