The Great Backyard Bird Count Begins!

Today is the first day of the Great Backyard Bird Count here in the USA!
 
It requires at least fifteen minutes spent observing birds (tough job but ...) and then a few minutes to record the highest number of a species that you saw at one time.  (Click here for instructions.)

You do need to know the species -- just plain 'sparrow' or 'warbler' isn't enough. (I'm no good at these myself.)
 
And though you may not catch sight of a Lesser Flamingo or a Lily Trotter, much less a Hammerkop or a Black-winged Lory (all courtesy of this site,) who knows what new neighbors you may discover!
