Title: Bird photos arriving....slowly. Great Backyard Bird Count continues Post by: Donna on 16-Feb-10, 08:02:11 AM NJ: Hey, Jersey bums! ... IP needs
more GBBC photos for its rag! ... get on it today! ... (Independent Press) Even thought it's over, I thought this was funny. Birders, where are you? The 2010 Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began Feb. 12, and finishes on Monday, Feb. 15. The GBBC even includes a photo contest and the Independent Press has asked birders who took photos while counting to send us one. Hey, even if you weren't counting (and how would the paper know if you were or weren't?), send in a bird photo taken over the weekend to ipeditors@njnpublishing.com The GBBC is an annual, national, 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. There's still time to take part, whatever your skill level. 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. Living this close to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the Watchung Reservation, finding birds is hardly ever a problem – they’re all over the place. So, take a few minutes out of your day today, and count some birds. |
