This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audobon. Traditionally this was just a North American count, but now it’s been extended worldwide, meaning that I can participate too! I just signed up to Cornell’s fantastic eBird site, which not only keeps track of my observations, but also makes them available to scientists.
You can watch a beautiful display of observations entered worldwide here. The little grey dot over Berlin is me!
And here are links to my counts so far:
