Feb 17-20, 2023 As little as 15 mins of your time can contribute to this year’s biggest global birding event.

Thank you for posting about this! I participated this year for the first time and it was so fun!

I used the Merlin app to ID birds by sound (I have a lot to learn, lol) and realized there was a relatively rare bird (for my area) hanging around! I was able to see it up in a tree once the app tipped me off.

Such important research the lab is doing! 👍

Congrats! I’ve been participating for several years now and am always excited to add a “new” bird to my list. Ebird is great for keeping track of your life list, too. I recently added a quail that I hadn’t seen for decades!

That is super exciting about the quail! 👏 Years ago, my mom and I saw a group of rare greater prairie chickens/pinnated grouse, and they were beautiful. Hopefully I can find some again.
