So get out there and stock those feeders and don't forget to dust off your binoculars!! Don't have any bird feeders ready to go? Don't worry you still have a little over 2 weeks and I have a couple of great bird feeders that you and your family will love to make! Try our:
You can count the birds in as many different spots in your yard as you like but only once each day. Every day plan to observe your feeders for about 15 minutes each, recording the largest number of each species you see visiting at one time. Once you have completed your days count make sure you go over to the GBBC website to enter you information!
If you know a family that would like to participate but doesn't have access to the internet there is a PDF file of what you will be entering on the BGGC website that can be printed out, filled in and mailed. This is really great because everyone can participate then :)
I have SO many birds in my yard. Seriously I have seen about 40 different speicies and I have them come all the time... you look out there now and you see a nuthatch, a black capped chickadee, a jay of some sort (I can't see it well.. it is in the tree) and a northern flicker. That is seriously right this second. It is crazy! I have never seen so many birds in one yard before. We have even gotten an eagle! In my yard!
BTW, I have moved from Homeschool Blogger... please come visit when you get a chance:
Also, just letting you know that my friend Cindy (Our Journey Westward) and I have just launched a brand new company offering nature-themed e-book unit studies. We are having a giveaway to celebrate. We'd love to have you come visit.
