A Barn Owl Visits Our Set

The Great Backyard Bird Count is a citizen science project where people from around the world count birds for 15 minutes a day from February 15-18. This event helps researchers and scientists track birds all over the country during their migrations and also helps account for populations. This information is used to further learn how to protect various bird species in the wild. In 2018 there were 200,000 participants that helped count over 6,000 bird species.
