Great Backyard Bird Count

Looking for something to do outdoors over the Family Day Weekend? Consider participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count from February 16-19!

Launched in 1998, this community science project encourages people from around the world to come together to watch, count and report as many birds as they can find to help bird scientists better understand global bird populations. Learn more about it here.

New to watching and counting birds? No Problem! From February 1—19, stop by the Acton Branch (17 River Street) or Georgetown Branch (9 Church Street) of the Halton Hills Public Library to pick up a Great Backyard Bird Count Kit to help you get started.

Each kit includes:
• How To Participate
• Bird Count Tally Sheet
• Halton Hills Winter Bird ID Guide
• Library Resource List
• Local Birdwatching Locations
