Great Backyard Bird Count
For four days, Cornell Lab of Ornithology wants North American residents to watch their backyard birdfeeders, count the visitors and submit data online. The Great Backyard Bird Count will start this Fridya, Feb. 15, and last through Monday the 18th.
No doubt you've heard of it before. Even the mainstream media provides coverage, if only a verbatim rerun of Cornell's press releases about the event.

Have you seen local coverage and/or contacted nearby media outlets to suggest GBBC as a topic?
