Due to a wet and cold weather forecast, plans for an official Saturday field trip have been scrapped. However, this is the weekend of the annual Great Backyard Bird Count, so all are encouraged to make some time for birding from February 14 through 17.  Perhaps sit at your window, sip a warm beverage, grab binoculars, and tally up yard/feeder birds. Or  bundle up for a walk. Invite family and friends to join you. And to officially take part in this global event, report your sightings to eBird.
