I'm participating in the worldwide bird count these days and got so busy counting birds I forgot to post a pic here at 365! Info about the bird count is at birdcount.org. It's a joint effort by the Cornell Lab, Audubon and Birds Canada. They talk about the "backyard" bird count but it's not restricted to your backyard, rather the backyard of the world, so to speak. Anywhere you are, as often as you like, make note of the birds you see and submit them to ebird.ca or ebird.org. It's a good worldwide environmental cause and a fun family or individual activity.
Such a perfect capture of this gorgeous bird, it looks like a little ball of fluff. Bird counting sounds like fun, what happens if it is the same birds that are always in one's garden?
Such a cute capture! I've been looking forward to the Great Backyard Bird Count. Was hoping the primo bird seed and deluxe suet I ordered would attract a more diverse clientele. So far just seeing the usual suspects...but that's the info ornithologists are looking for. E-Bird makes counting super easy. Have fun counting!
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana! I just report the largest number seen at one time over the period of time I'm watching, say 15 minutes. Or if I see a male then a little later I see a female of the same species, I count two. The periods of time can be as long or short as I want them.

Should really do the bird count as well!
