You're invited to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count! To learn how, visit http://www.birdcount.org.

A joint project of the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology with Bird Studies Canada as the official Canadian partner, the Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent and in Hawaii. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds. Special thanks to Wild Birds Unlimited (http://www.wbu.com) for their sponsorship of the GBBC.

Save the Date for President’s Day weekend to show your support for Florida’s rivers. Science, art, music, literature, field trips, and other activities designed to teach and inspire protection, conservation, and restoration of our rivers and promote nature-based tourism.
