The Great Backyard Bird Count

Last Saturday, the C3 teens participated in the Great Backyard Bird Count.  The GBBC is a nationwide program held over one weekend in February each year in which thousands of people across the country go outside, count birds, and then report their results to the Audubon Society and Cornell University.  The GBBC is a major source of data for scientists studying birds.  The C3 teens counted 9 different species in Forest Park.  Here are some pics:
