Great Backyard Bird Count

This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count. Help this worldwide effort by counting bird species around the Indian River area. Starting today, you can report your bird sightings from your backyard or anywhere at http://gbbc.birdcount.org/.   We'd love to get a copy of your checklists too - you can e-mail them to info@friendsofindianriver.org

The Friends will be leading a bird walk on Saturday, Feb 18 at 8:30 am at the lake behind the Indian River Community Center on Old Greenbrier Road. Last time we did this, we spotted 21 species including Cormorants, Mallards, Gulls, Pied-Bill Grebe, Doves, Bluebirds, Yellow-Rumped Warblers, Woodpeckers, and more. We'll have some binoculars and a spotting scope, but do bring your own if you have some!https://www.facebook.com/events/171220830033379/
