2017 Great Backyard Bird Count
Friday, February 17 through Monday, February 20, 2017
The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is an annual birding and citizen science event for people of all skills. This year it runs from Friday, February 17 through Monday, February 20. Participants are asked to watch for birds at any location for at least 15 consecutive minutes, then submit a checklist of their observations on a website. More information about the GBBC can be found at http:// gbbc.birdcount.org/about/. Last year more than 100 people submitted GBBC checklists from Larimer County, recording 101 different species. We‘re hoping to see even bigger participation and results this year!
