All they ask for is at least 15 minutes of watching and counting the fevvers of wherever you are. Home, work, school. They use this to see where birdies are and how their habitats and habits are changing. The more data the better the study.Mum and I did this for the first time in 2007, and then we also got hooked up with Project Feeder Watch, which we now do every weekend, all winter long.
Here I am sitting on my pillow waiting for birdies to come by. This was on our snowy day so I didn't see much but snow.
Here is a picture that mum took of the back yard before she walked all around to clear the snow from the roof and patio. With the drifts in places it was between mid-calf to knee high with snow. But with the sunny day, things are clear and dry so mum can get around easy.
Happy Weekend.
Derby, you seem to be asking your mum to pay more attention to you than to the Weather Channel. The idea of watching birds sounds fun to us too!
ReplyDeleteHi Derby, So glad I had a chance to drop by! You have a lot of snow out there. I have an idea - how about you and I make a quick trip to Florida?
ReplyDeleteGracie (and Beth)
Happy weekend to you! Counting birdies will make it extra happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Derby, I love to watch the birdies outside my window too!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could get the Woman to count birdies with me. I am certain that they will not take numbers from me!
ReplyDeleteWe'll be counting! The Project Birdwatch sounds like something to try too.
ReplyDeleteMom loves to watch birds but she isn't good enough at identifying them to purrticipate.
ReplyDeleteOh, and don't tell Niko but Mom actually is working on building a ramp for Niko- stay tuned to our blog and we will show the ramp once it gets built.

As far as we know, we don't have an official bird counting day in the UK, but every day is bird counting day to us. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDerby, my kids want to know if they can eat the ones they catch!
ReplyDeleteWe are looking forward to counting birdies in our back yard. Have a great weekend Derby!
ReplyDeleteBird counting sounds fun, but right it's nothing but all squirrels, all the time!
ReplyDeleteWith all that snow, do you get any birds for tv ?
ReplyDeleteMaximus Spittimus has asked me to impart his words of wisdom.
ReplyDelete(yeah....right)
When the Two Legs opened the back door a big thing made a whooshy sound. Two Legs say it is pigeon.
I stay indoors. There is no pigeons indoors.
