This is a message from Jan Green on John's email which we both use. Calling all birders. The "Great Backyard Bird Count" is coming up this next weekend - February 18th through 21st. Help put Minnesota (and its owls) on the national map by going out to count birds one (or all) of these days. The process is easy. Find a good spot to see birds (and owls) and report the result to the website: www.birdsource.org/gbbc.
For more information look at my MOU-net post of February 1st "Owls on a National Map". Besides owls Minnesota should do well on redpolls and grosbeaks, not to mention really good birds like Gyrfalcon, Three-toed Woodpecker, etc. Jan
