Birding and Thawing

Must be warming up around here
because the snow if sliding off the roof. This pile has averaged about 3 feet all winter, and with the little thaw we had yesterday and today it grew considerably. And still all the snow isn't off the roof yet. So getting to the can of birdseed to feed the birdies for this weekend's Great Backyard Bird Count will take some doing. That and since it's warming up a bit, the dang-blasted raccooonns are back raiding the feeders. They've cleaned us out in less than 2 days. Gad, I hates raccoonnsss.

But nonetheless, it's time to gear up for the GBBC. Not only is it easy, but it's fun to look my own zip code up afterwards to see how many of my neighbor peeps have entered data. It's a bit of work, but if you can blog or FB, you can do this. Easy breezy. And important! So get your birdie on, crack open that Sibleys or Petersons or even your Kaufmans and put a little dinner out for your fine feathered friends.

Backyard Birding Time Again!

Remember how much fun you had counting birds at your feeder for the Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count? Well now it's time for the Great Backyard Bird Count. This is the Laziest Birder in the World's dream event. And easy. And fun. And important. And easy. Did I mention easy?

So check out this link: Great Backyard Bird Count and I'll get back to you later this week. Okay? Cool. (Hey, Phoebe, I'm counting on you!)
