Get ready to spread your wings and explore the world of birds together. This program introduces families to the Great Backyard Bird Count—what it is, why it matters, and how everyone can join in. After a quick, easy-to-follow overview, we’ll have real bird counting adventure around Powder Valley Nature Center. Along the way, you’ll learn simple tips for spotting and identifying birds, and you’ll see how to enter your sightings on eBird, the official online platform used by bird lovers around the world. No bird knowledge needed. Bring binoculars if you have them, but they’re totally optional.

| The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a global community science event created by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. It happens every Presidents Day weekend—this year from February 13–16. During these four days, people of all ages count the birds they see in their backyards, neighborhood parks, or favorite nature spots and submit their observations online. It’s an easy, fun way to help scientists learn more about the birds we share our world with. Please note: Registering for this and other MDC programs means you plan to attend. This helps us honor the time and effort of our instructors and ensures space is available for everyone who wants to participate. | DAVID J BRUNS |
