The Great Backyard Bird Count starts this Friday! It’s free and easy to participate, and a great way for you and your child to learn more about your local birds. You can participate from anywhere, even from a high-rise city apartment. You only watch birds as often as you want to – you don’t have to commit to watching every day or for a set time period.
See the official site for more info, and don’t forget to check out their “just for kids” section while you are there!
